Snap of 'nude Justin Bieber' leaked online after star's laptop is stolen

On stage ... Justin Bieber at a gig earlier this week

JUSTIN Bieber was left distressed after his laptop was stolen at a gig last night.

The Never Say Never star was on stage in Tacoma, Washington, when a thief raided his tour manager's office, reportedly taking the computer and his camera.

Hours later an alleged nude picture of Justin emerged on the internet but it is widely thought to be fake.

The person in the photo has the same tattoo as Justin, a tiny bird on his hip, but his face is not shown, leaving many thinking it could be doctored.

Justin tweeted: "Sucks when u take personal footage and people dont respect your privacy.

"Yesterday during the show me and my tour manager Josh had some stuff stolen. really sucks. People should respect other's property.

"I had a lot of personal footage on that computer and camera and that is what bothers me the most. #lame #norespect."

It is unclear if anything else was taken.

Romance ... Justin with girlfriend Selena Gomez

The incident comes on the same day Justin was the victim of a "swatting" prank.

A call was placed to emergency services, with the person on the line claiming someone was waving a gun next to the 18-year-old star's Los Angeles home.

Cars and helicopters were dispatched to the property - which is in an area where stars including Kourtney Kardashian, Romeo and Travis Barker also have homes - and Justin's security staff let the officers in, but a sweep of the property found nothing.

Police believe the caller did the prank using an app after the same happened to Miley Cyrus and Ashton Kutcher.
