NSW Police have arrested veteran broadcaster Alan Jones following an investigation into alleged indecent assault and sexual touching offences spanning two decades.

In a statement NSW Police said Child Abuse Squad detectives executed a warrant at the 83-year-old's luxury Sydney apartment at Circular Quay about 7:45am.

The State Crime Command's Child Abuse Squad established Strike Force Bonnefin in March to investigate a number of alleged indecent assaults and sexual touching incidents between 2001 and 2019.

A search warrant is continuing.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the arrest followed a "very complex" investigation.

"This is a result of a very long, thorough and protracted investigation," she said at a press conference between Sydney and Wollongong.
