Warwickshire Police made three of the arrests following raids at addresses in Nuneaton and Coventry on Wednesday, and detained the fourth man on Wednesday night after searches in the Alderman's Green area of Coventry.

Gerry Tobin, 35, was gunned down on August 12 as he rode home from the Bulldog Bash bikers' festival at Long Marston near Stratford.

A police spokeswoman said: "Detectives have been granted a warrant of further detention by magistrates to continue questioning the four men." She added that searches at the three addresses in Nuneaton and Coventry had now been completed.

Officers have so far seized numerous items, including a firearm and a number of bladed weapons, which will be sent for forensic examination.

A van and a Rover car were also recovered during the raids while a second Rover, which had been damaged by fire, was seized before the search operation.

Earlier this week, detectives said they were concerned that Mr Tobin's murder could spark a violent feud among biker gangs.

Detective Superintendent Ken Lawrence, who is leading the inquiry, said he feared rogue elements in the Hell's Angels might carry out further attacks to avenge Mr Tobin's death.

Police believe Mr Tobin, a Canadian who worked as a mechanic at a Harley Davidson garage in south London, may have been targeted by a member of a rival gang.

Officers believe the shots were fired at Mr Tobin, of Mottingham, south-east London, from a dark green Rover 620 car which was seen passing Mr Tobin around the time of the incident.
