The caller also claimed that the men left a box in the home that had 'red blinking lights'.
Moments after the call, Justin's home was seen being swarmed by LAPD cop cars and surrounded.

They also claimed that he was armed with 20 weapons and was threatening to burn the home down.
The two incidences come after Rihanna was swatted on Thursday and rapper Diddy the day before.
More than a dozen police cars and two helicopters swarmed the 43-year-old rapper's Los Angeles home on Wednesday after they received a hoax phone-call informing them that someone had been shot inside the property.

Comedian and actor Steve Carell's home was also secured as it is located next door to Diddy's, whose real name is Sean Combs.
Upon searching the mansion, officers found no evidence of criminal activity or a shooter.
A law enforcement source said on Wednesday they are taking the incident very seriously and intend to prosecute the perpetrator to the fullest extent of the law once they are tracked down.
Justin, Selena, Diddy and Rihanna are the latest in a number of celebrities to fall victim to a 'swatting' prank, following a similar incident at Paris Hilton's home the week before.
And at Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills home in January a prank caller claimed an armed robbery was taking place, but officers found no crime had been committed.

A 12-year-old child also previously targeted Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber's homes in a series of elaborate prank burglaries.
Other victims have included Miley Cyrus' family, Chris Brown and the Kardashian family, who were left furious after heavily armed officers showed up at their door in Calabasas, California, in January after a hoax caller claimed a shooter was in the house and they heard a gun being fired.
Kim tweeted at the time: 'Just got a call from my mom telling me about this prank call that someone was shot in their home and 15 swat team & 3 helicopters showed up! (Sic)
'These prank calls are NOT funny. People can get arrested for this! I hope they find out how is behind this. It's dangerous & not a joke! (sic)'
