JUSTIN BIEBER's luxury sports car was towed in Los Angeles on Tuesday night (02Sep12) after the pop star illegally parked the vehicle.

The Baby hitmaker's chrome Fisker Karma was parked in a 15-minute only parking space at the Shore Hotel in Santa Monica for reportedly over four hours, prompting local traffic officials to transport the vehicle to a nearby impound lot.

According to TMZ.com, a member of Bieber's team left the flashy car there by accident while the 18 year old was busy performing a show at the Staples Center.

The car has since been retrieved.

The singer's recently-launched Believe tour has not gone smoothly so far - during his stop in Arizona on Saturday (29Sep12), Bieber vomited twice on stage after drinking too much milk.
