Seven members of the Harrow Road Boys (HRB) based in Mozart Estate have been found sentenced to 116 years for plotting to shoot rival drill rapper Digga D.
The Harrow Road Boys (HRB) bought firearms in a bid to shoot Digga D who is currently in prison for conspiring to import cannabis to sell.
A fellow member of HRB and fellow rapper, Marvin William Bailey – better known by his stage name Fredo – was also named as a conspirator in the trial.
However, he failed to appear, with the court being told he is believed to be living abroad.
We spoke about how Fredo is unlikely to return to the UK due to this trial here.
Digga D, real name Rhys Herbert, 25, was jailed for almost four years in January for supplying 45kg of cannabis.
Jayvon Tison was also a budding rapper who performed as Lil Dotz.
Snapchat messages showed the gang members discussing the storage and financing of the firearms, where they said they no longer required ‘a deeme’ (a female) to store them.
Prosecutor Ian McLoughlin, said the seven defendants intended to ’cause significant harm’ as they attempted to hunt Digga D, who is a part of the CGM gang.
The members of the Harrow Road Boys gang – Jayvon Tison, Kylann Grannum, Mustafa Abdalla, Romello Briggs–Leon, Harry Crump, Yasin Abdulla and Herman Yikalo – pleaded guilty to conspiracy to posses a firearm with intent endanger life between July and November 2022.
All those listed above received 17 years in prison for their crime (besides Harry Crump who received 14 years).
Abraham Safa Frimpong was found not guilty of the charge, but was found guilty of contravening the Prisons Act, by smuggling a phone behind bars.
At the sentencing hearing today, a community impact statement from police constable, David Hammond, told how the gang wreaked havoc on the community.
