11:52 AM PT — Polo G‘s attorney, Bradford Cohen, tells us, “Polo is being held under the guise that the police department needs to double check that he is not a convicted felon as there was a purported firearm found in the home. He is not and never was a convicted felon. Any previous charges he had I got dismissed and it’s all public record. They are also denying myself and my California law partner Zoe Aron access to him while he is being illegally detained.”
11:50 AM PT — A law enforcement source tells us the warrant has to do with Polo G’s brother, Taurean (known as Trench Baby) … we’re told Polo was detained because officers are trying to determine if he was harboring a fugitive.
For his part, Trench Baby posted about the raid happening, and his message doesn’t seem too positive.
Polo G’s house is currently swarmed by law enforcement, and the rapper’s in handcuffs.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department hit Polo’s L.A.-area home early Wednesday with a search warrant. In video from the scene — obtained by TMZ Hip Hop — you can see a ton of law enforcement vehicles lined up on Polo’s street.
Cops ordered people — including Polo G — out of the house one by one, placing them in handcuffs while they conducted their search of the property.
Law enforcement sources tell us the search warrant was executed in relation to a robbery and 4 suspects have been taken into custody. They’ve not yet been booked.
A rep from Polo G’s team tells TMZ the rapper’s been detained as part of an active investigation … however, they say he’s not the focus of said investigation.
The rep says, “We are hopeful the LAPD will handle this matter with tact and transparency.” We’re told Polo will update his fans and supporters when the time is right.

As for the home being raided, TMZ broke the story when Polo bought it for just under $5 million in 2021 … it comes complete with vaulted ceilings, a massive pool and tennis court.
