Officers stood guard outside the singer's house in Jeffrey's Place, Camden, north London, as others worked inside.

Ms Winehouse, 24, and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil were both out at the time and police reportedly had to force open the door to gain entry.

Scotland Yard confirmed there was "police activity" at the property and said it was part of an "ongoing police operation".

A spokesman said four men - two 25-year-olds, a 22-year-old and a 19-year-old - had been arrested in east London earlier on Thursday and were being questioned in connection with an allegation of perversion of the course of justice.

The spokesman confirmed the arrests related to next week's trial involving Mr Fielder-Civil, 25, and a second man, 39, who both face charges of grievous bodily harm.

But he refused to comment on whether Mr Fielder-Civil was one of the four suspects being held.

The trial concerns an incident on June 20 this year and is due to start on Monday at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

A spokesman for the singer would not give any details about the raid, but stressed that it was not related to drugs and that Ms Winehouse was not involved.

The raid follows a difficult few months for the singer, who has received critical acclaim for her music but been under intense scrutiny due to her erratic lifestyle.
