Following reports of singer Justin Bieber's involvement with an assault that allegedly took place at a Richmond, British Columbia, laser tag arena, E! Online is reporting that Bieber probably won't be charged.

According to the source, whose relation to the investigation is not identified, the alleged scuffle was not captured by any of the facility's security cameras, nor have any eyewitness account corroborated the story of the 12-year-old boy who says Bieber struck him.

Furthermore, it cannot be confirmed that Bieber had any involvement in the incident as he's a minor, and Royal Candian Mounted Police cannot discuss minor involvement in alleged crimes.

A spokesperson for Bieber has said that the accusations are not true.

The investigation into the matter, whether it involves the tween pop sensation or not, remains ongoing.
