Po­lice have now iden­ti­fied the six in­di­vid­u­als, among them a woman, who were de­tained fol­low­ing a March 17 raid at a house along Mar­shall Trace, Munroe Road, Cunu­pia, link­ing them to an or­gan­ised crim­i­nal group in­volved in hu­man traf­fick­ing and pros­ti­tu­tion.

Fifty-four peo­ple were held dur­ing the joint op­er­a­tion by the Counter Traf­fick­ing Unit and the Crime Sup­pres­sion Unit. Six of them were sub­se­quent­ly kept un­der Pre­ven­tive De­ten­tion Or­ders (PDOs), signed by Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der un­der the Emer­gency Pow­ers Reg­u­la­tions, 2026, on sus­pi­cion of op­er­at­ing what law en­force­ment said was a ma­jor hu­man traf­fick­ing and pros­ti­tu­tion ring.

Among them is Lloyd Sealey, who was iden­ti­fied in a PDO gazetted yes­ter­day as the own­er and op­er­a­tor of “The Man­sion Night Club,” which was de­scribed as the base of op­er­a­tions for the net­work. Po­lice said the ex­er­cise at the lo­ca­tion un­cov­ered 47 fe­male for­eign na­tion­als, along with nar­cotics and items con­sis­tent with a broth­el.

A PDO was al­so is­sued for Lloyd’s sib­ling Or­nel­la Sealey, who was iden­ti­fied as the ac­coun­tant and man­ag­er of res­i­den­tial prop­er­ties used to house fe­male mi­grants. The PDO in­di­cates that she played a cen­tral role in man­ag­ing the fi­nances and ad­min­is­tra­tive op­er­a­tions of the group.

Mar­vin “Tall Man” Boyce was named in his PDO as pro­vid­ing se­cu­ri­ty at the es­tab­lish­ment. Au­thor­i­ties said he worked as a bounc­er dur­ing pe­ri­ods when the al­leged ex­ploita­tion of the mi­grants oc­curred.

Robert Cuf­faro Gabriel, of Mar­shall Trace, Cunu­pia, was iden­ti­fied in his PDO as con­trol­ling ac­cess to the com­pound op­er­at­ing the elec­tron­ic gate sys­tem, which of­fi­cials be­lieve helped se­cure the premis­es and re­strict move­ment.

Rudy “No Da­ta” Dem­ber and Stephon “Big­gz” De Four Jr were al­so named as part of the group’s op­er­a­tional staff. Po­lice said Dem­ber func­tioned as a se­cu­ri­ty guard, while De Four worked as a bar­tender and DJ.

The PDOs said the group used a struc­tured net­work to re­cruit, har­bour and con­trol vic­tims, while us­ing threats, vi­o­lence and firearms to main­tain con­trol of the op­er­a­tion.

Their PDOs were among 20 gazetted yes­ter­day, with women and at least one mi­nor in­volved in crim­i­nal and gang ac­tiv­i­ty iden­ti­fied for de­ten­tion.

Among the oth­er 14 sus­pects named was An­to­nia “Smi­ley” Sorzano, who au­thor­i­ties linked to a group in­volved in kid­nap­ping for ran­som and hu­man traf­fick­ing. The or­der warned the group plans to “im­mi­nent­ly in­crease tar­get­ing mem­bers of the pub­lic to be kid­napped, traf­ficked and held for ran­som.”

Ver­nes­sa Val­ley, al­so known as “Sell Off Boss,” “SOB,” and “Nessy,” was iden­ti­fied as a key op­er­a­tive re­spon­si­ble for co­or­di­nat­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tion for a gang, in­clud­ing link­ing in­car­cer­at­ed mem­bers lo­cal­ly, re­gion­al­ly and in­ter­na­tion­al­ly. Au­thor­i­ties said her role sup­ports the sup­ply of firearms, am­mu­ni­tion and nar­cotics to oth­er gangs.

The re­main­ing de­tainees were large­ly de­scribed as ac­tive gang mem­bers, en­forcers and shoot­ers across sev­er­al or­gan­ised crime groups.

Chris­t­ian La Bor­de, al­so known as “Broth­er” or “Brud­da,” was iden­ti­fied as a “hench­man” and en­forcer aligned to the Mar­aval-based group with links to the “6ixx” gang. Au­thor­i­ties said mem­bers “in­tend to im­mi­nent­ly car­ry out acts of vi­o­lence against ri­val gang mem­bers.”

Kern Welling­ton, al­so known as “Mern,” and Mossi­ah Phillip were both de­scribed as ac­tive par­tic­i­pants in gang vi­o­lence, with in­tel­li­gence point­ing to planned re­tal­ia­to­ry shoot­ings and the es­ca­la­tion of firearm-re­lat­ed ac­tiv­i­ty.

An­tho­ny “An­tho­ny B” Nep­tune and An­to­nio Ju­man were linked to gangs in­volved in armed rob­beries, ex­tor­tion and vi­o­lent home in­va­sions, with in­tel­li­gence sug­gest­ing plans to ex­pand those op­er­a­tions.

Ezra Spencer and Karim Ja­mal Ra­j­coomar were al­so iden­ti­fied as mem­bers of groups en­gaged in vi­o­lent rob­beries and firearm traf­fick­ing.

Rod­ney So­tio, al­so known as “Sicky,” was de­scribed as a se­nior en­forcer with­in a group op­er­at­ing in the south, while Kevin “Bean” Pierre was iden­ti­fied as a gang leader who al­leged­ly is­sued threats to car­ry out at­tacks in res­i­den­tial ar­eas.

In the east, Sylvester Jerome Browne, al­so known as “Kratos,” and Em­manuel Halls, al­so known as “Mani Dob,” were iden­ti­fied as the leader and key en­forcer of the “Aliens” group, with in­tel­li­gence in­di­cat­ing plans for co­or­di­nat­ed shoot­ings in pub­lic spaces.

Ke­ston El­lis Alexan­der was al­so named, with au­thor­i­ties link­ing him to a re­cent shoot­ing in St James which left two peo­ple se­ri­ous­ly in­jured.
