Justin Bieber is reportedly being investigated by police in Richmond, British Columbia after an alleged incident at laser tag facility ... this according to various reports in Canada.
RCMP are investigating an incident in which a 12-year-old boy was injured while playing laser tag in Richmond on Friday just before 5:30 p.m. Online reports have said that pop superstar Justin Bieber was also at the facility at the same time.
"The father of a 12-year-old boy reported to police that his son was assaulted by another boy at a Richmond entertainment facility," Cpl. Annie Linteau said in a press release Sunday.
"The boy sustained minimal injuries and did not require medical attention at the time of the incident," she said.
The RCMP would not be specific about who was involved or what took place, owing to the ages of those allegedly involved.
"We are aware of speculations concerning the identity of one of the parties allegedly involved," Cpl. Annie Linteau wrote in a press release Sunday.
"However, we would like to remind the public that we do not release the names of any suspect until charges have been laid. In cases where the accused is under the age of 18, the identity of the accused is not released as per the provisions of the Youth Criminal
On Saturday, Linteau said “there is an active investigation. We are in the process of interviewing a number of people that saw what might have happened.”
Linteau also said if the RCMP feels there is enough evidence to support a criminal charge it will forward the report to Crown.
If the complaint turns out to be frivolous, Linteau said there is a possibility that charges could be pursued against the complainant.
