Simon Cowell has called in the police after Leona Lewis's new collaboration with Justin Timberlake was leaked on the internet.

The music mogul was left fuming when he discovered his record company's computers had been targetted by hackers who stole Lewis's track Don't Let Me Down.

Cowell was considering releasing the song as the Brit's first track from her second album, but the completed recording has made its way online.

A statement from music executives at Sony BMG spin-off Syco reads, "Syco are working alongside the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the British Phonographic Industry, the police and investigators in this and they are making fast progress.
