London - British soul singer Amy Winehouse and Peaches Geldof are now the focus of a major Scotland Yard probe into drug offences, media reports said Thursday. The Sun newspaper reported that the investigations are also focusing on a pair of drug dealers who allegedly had supplied Winehouse, 24, and the 19-year-old Peaches, the daughter of pop musician Bob Geldof, with drugs.
Scotland Yard meanwhile disclosed that Winehouse had been released on bail after being questioned for drug offences.
She was released late Wednesday night after she had been arrested following video footage published in January which appeared to show her inhaling fumes from a crack pipe, the Press Association PA reported.
Winehouse, a five-times Grammy award winner and with the hit song "Rehab," made no comments to the press when she was driven away from the Limehouse police station in east London in a silver Mercedes.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said she was arrested in connection with the alleged possession of a controlled drug. "This is in connection with an investigation connected to footage passed to the Metropolitan Police on January 22," he said.
The spokesman said Winehouse was cooperating fully with police in the investigation.
"Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year," the spokesman said.
