Homes owned by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in L.A., Miami raided

And now to another story that has rocked the music and entertainment world the US Department of Homeland Security says two raids on properties owned by Sha Diddy comes are part of an ongoing investigation look at this aerial footage here this is of the raid on com’s Los Angeles home yesterday

Homeland Security investigations agents also searched a property belonging to the Hip-Hop star in Miami law enforcement officials have not specified the reason for the raids the operation was directed by federal agents based in New York com settled a lawsuit in the state of November brought by his former

Longtime girlfriend she accused Combs of physical abuse rape and engaging in sex trafficking Steve futterman is in Los Angeles tracking the details of this story good morning to you Steve let’s start with what you know about these raids and the ongoing investigation well good morning Maryann

Yes it it really came by surprise there was no indication that Sean com’s homes were about to be raided they took Place simultaneously here in LA and in Miami that was to make sure that no one could tell the Miami home you’re about to be

Raed or vice vers of and the fact that these these search warrants were able to be uh enforced means that the government did present significant evidence to a judge to issue those warrants suggesting that key evidence could be found in these homes now the the big question is

Why are they doing this many sources already have indicated to us that this does involve a sex trafficking oper operation is he the Target or is he just part of the investigation there are a number of media reports today saying he is in fact the target so uh quite a a

Scene at both these homes yesterday you see the aerial pictures you see the pictures on the ground very very heavy equipment armored equipment coming in with SWAT team members armed this was a very very uh serious raid on both those homes there were some pictures showing two of Shan K’s Sons apparently in

Handcuffs we don’t know what may have been as part of this investigation right now but uh right now it’s it’s just an ongoing investigation very little officially from the government uh the Homeland Security Office saying very little they are not even acknowledging that this is a sex trafficking investigation right now yeah Steve

Officials quite tight Li this morning so the question becomes then where is comes now and what does this mean for him moving forward well we we think he’s in Miami now his plane has been tracked uh traveling sorts of places from here in LA to Antigua but we don’t believe he’s

On that plane there were pictures captured of him yesterday at the Miami Airport the the very popular gossipy website TMZ has some pictures of him at the Miami Airport but we don’t know exactly his whereabouts right now there’s been no statement issued by comes we should point out that he has

Issued some statements in recent months denying all these allegations and there have been many allegations it’s not just his former girlfriend Cassie the R&B singer who filed a lawsuit we should point out that that was a lawsuit that was settled but there have been several other lawsuits all suggesting sexual

Abuse by Shan Colmes uh obviously this is a a hit on potentially on his reputation but right now he faces potentially potentially we should say because he’s not been charged with anything potentially very serious legal situations all right and I know you’re going to keep an eye on this story as

Well throughout the morning Steve thanks so much for this update that’s Steve in Los Angeles this morning

U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents have opened an investigation of hip-hop star Sean “Diddy” Combs, searching his properties in Los Angeles and the Miami area.
