Raid at home connected to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
FOX 11 was first on the scene as the Department of Homeland Security conducted a raid at a home in Holmby Hills connected to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs related to an alleged sex trafficking investigation.FOX 11’s ground crew at the scene learned the home was registered to Bad Boys Films, a division of Bad Boy Entertainment, along with one of Combs’ daughters.
SkyFOX also captured images of a few people coming out of the home who were subsequently detained.
Homeland Security expert Hal Kempfer joined FOX 11 during breaking news coverage and said there have been allegations that he had been drugging young women and that the agency is likely looking into the alleged crimes committed in multiple states.
Kempfer added some evidence they’re looking for includes laptops, flash drives, and anything that would connect Combs with the allegations. In addition, he said obtaining a search warrant of this magnitude requires a lengthy process and that working with state and local attorneys was likely required.
Investigators with the Los Angeles Police Department were also at the scene and refused to comment.
