Robbie Williams is being questioned by police investigating an armed robbery.

Detectives hope the 'Rock DJ' singer can help them determine if there is a link between the robbery carried out by three unknown men, and paparazzi photographs taken of the star as he holidays in the Bahamas.

A fight broke out between the 35-year-old singer's entourage and photographers Matt Sanchez and Carlos Mendez after they took pictures of Robbie smoking a large roll-up cigarette on a jet-ski at the beach.

Just hours after the confrontation, three men forced their way into the photographer's beach hut at 3am, held guns to their heads and threatened to kill them.

They are going to speak to everybody who would have been party to whatever may or may not have happened on the beach

Sanchez and Mendez escaped uninjured, but the bandits stole £15,000-worth of cameras, clothes, travel documents and cash.

Three local men have been arrested over the raid.

Police are investigating whether the robbers knew about the fight over the pictures, and are interviewing a number of witnesses, including Robbie, who may be stopped from leaving the island of Staniel Cay while they complete their inquiry.

Bahamas police chief Ellsworth Moss insisted Robbie is not a suspect in the crime, but will be questioned as an eyewitness.

He said: "We are in the process of speaking to Robbie Williams. I sent a team of officers from Nassau to the island and I am waiting for them to report back to me.

"They are going to speak to everybody who would have been party to whatever may or may not have happened on the beach. From the information we get from him we will know exactly where to move with the investigation."

Robbie is enjoying a holiday on the island with his father Pete Conway, his girlfriend Ayda Field and two other couples.
