Los Angeles police were forced to cordon off streets surrounding the court house where round two of the Britney Spears Vs Kevin Federline custody battle was taking place, after a suspicious bag was found outside the building.

An unattended black bag was reported to police by an unknown person and bomb squad experts were called to defuse the device. 

Although there has been no further comment on the contents of the bag, streets surronding the courthouse have since been re-opened.
