The website reports his grandma thought the prank was hilarious.
Dale is the mother of Bieber's mum Pattie Mallette and she helped raise the singer.
In July, she gave an interview about her grandson's controversial behaviour, which has included peeing in buckets and apparently spitting on innocent bystanders.
Dale defended her grandson against the criticism he received, telling Ottawa's CTV that his antics are completely normal.
"I feel sorry for Justin all the time, because paparazzi pick on him all the time. Anybody else's kids have done the same thing but nobody says anything," Dale told celebrity website RadarOnline.
Bieber's popularity was apparent at the weekend's Teen Choice Awards, where he scooped the choice male artist award and took the crown for the hottest Twitter personality for his social networking updates.
"4 years in a row. #tcas. That's love. Thank u. Enjoying the break. But always here. Thank u. This is forever :)," Bieber tweeted after the awards ceremony held in Los Angeles.
