Justin Bieber has been accused of attempted robbery.

Los Angeles Police Department are investigating claims of an incident which allegedly took place in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles on Monday night.

"Detectives are currently interviewing the victim," officer Rosario Herrera said.

"It was reported at 10.30pm Monday night to our Devonshire location and occurred earlier in the day in the Valley."

She made it clear that no arrests have been made at this stage in the investigation.

This is one incident in a series of run-ins with the law that the singer has experienced recently.

Last month Bieber was detained in Los Angeles International Airport whilst trying to re-enter the US after a trip to Japan.
