Police batter down Amy Winehouse’s door in dramatic afternoon raid

Police battered their way into Amy Winehouse’s home yesterday and spent three hours searching through her belongings.

More than a dozen officers smashed in the front door of the house the singer shares with junkie husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

The incident - in which police used a crowbar and battering ram to force their way into the North London home - was the latest crisis in Miss Winehouse’s turbulent personal life.

Amy had fled to her father’s home just before the raid. Blake wasn’t home either. She has been on a downward spiral for months now and continues to struggle with her heroin addiction. Last week she had to be helped onto the stage in Munich for her performance of ‘Back to Black‘ for the MTV music awards. She slurred the words to the song and was incoherent during her acceptance speech for the artists’ choice award.

Her MTV music awards disaster was just the latest in a string of cancellations and out-of-control behavior.
