Chicago-bred rapper Polo G has reportedly been detained by law enforcement. According to TMZ, the 24-year-old’s Los Angeles mansion was raided by police Wednesday.
According to TMZ, the rapper’s Los Angeles mansion was “swarmed” by authorities from the Los Angeles Police Department on Wednesday. In the video taken from the scene, Polo G can be seen walking down the steps of his front lawn as he approaches police with his hands up.
The 24-year-old is then seen being apprehended by authorities.
In the footage, two additional individuals are seen already handcuffed by police, standing near the authorities’ vehicle.
TMZ adds that all occupants were ordered out of Polo G’s mansion “one by one” as they continued to search the premises. Additionally, the outlet reports that the search warrant was executed “in relation to a robbery.”
Furthermore, a total of four suspects have been taken into police custody.
