Police have made an arrest for cocaine possession during a raid on Justin Bieber's California home, a spokesman for the LA County Sheriff's department said.

Bieber, whose home was being searched in relation to a claim he had pelted his neighbour's property with eggs, was not arrested.

The spokesman said: "There was an arrest for a felony narcotics violation unrelated to this investigation - that was not Mr Bieber.

"The cocaine ... was in plain view of the deputies when they were looking for other evidence".

Bieber was present during the raid and was "cooperative" as police also collected evidence in relation to the egg attack claims.

Police have searched Justin Bieber's California home on suspicion of felony vandalism after the pop star was accused of pelting his neighbour's property with eggs, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman said.

"We are in the process of executing a search warrant on Justin Bieber's home," Steve Whitmore said.
