Scotland Yard said the 39-year-old woman was detained on Tuesday and had been bailed to return on a date in late August while they investigate further.
It is claimed she is neither a survivor of the tragedy nor someone left bereaved, but attempted to fraudulently get her hands on cash meant for those affected.
The arrest follows a wave of convictions against fraudsters who attempted to profit from the disaster.

A spokeswoman added: "The Met will continue to investigate anyone thought to be fraudulently profiting from the tragic event.".

Callisto,I watched an interesting programme on morning TV a couple of years ago and it was a frequent case of tenants sub letting their council flats to one or more other families/immigrants that made it impossible to track occupancy details. The hysteria of the moment would have stopped any council official 'accusing tenants' of such abuse but it appears to have happened at Grenfell in some fashion.
