Kate Moss faces arrest on return

Kate Moss is to be arrested and questioned about cocaine claims when she returns to Britain

The supermodel will be asked to attend a police station on arrival from the American clinic where she is being treated for drug use.

The model is expected to be formally arrested and interviewed under caution over the allegations that she snorted the drug in a west London recording studio.

She is expected to be questioned over claims of possessing and supplying the class A drug. Senior officers are understood to have ordered a tough approach because they believe she is glamorising drug use.

The inquiry began when the mother of one was videoed allegedly chopping up lines of cocaine and snorting the drug at a studio with rock star boyfriend Pete Doherty.

Police chiefs have consulted the Crown Prosecution Service on the likelihood of a conviction and have contacted Moss's solicitors.

Officers searched the studio in Chiswick where the model was pictured taking the drug.

It has been reported her close friends are also to be questioned. Doherty, lead singer of Babyshambles, and former Clash guitarist Mick Jones may also face questions.
