Seven members of the Harrow Road Boys (HRB) received prison sentences totalling 116 years after being found guilty of conspiring to procure firearms with intent to kill rapper Digga D. Kingston Crown Court heard that between July and November 2022, the Harrow Road Boys gang carefully planned to source and store firearms intended to be used against members of a rival group, including Digga D.

The gang used encrypted messaging, shared real‑time GPS locations, and monitored social media in order to identify opportunities to carry out the planned attack.

The court also heard that HRB planned not only to use the firearms against Digga D but to profit financially by distributing weapons beyond London, with discussions suggesting export schemes. Prosecutors described how encrypted chats referenced selling firearms “abroad” to raise funds, underlining both criminal ambition and logistical coordination.

The police arrested the group between late 2022 and early 2023, following escalating tensions and a series of targeted attacks linked to West London’s postcode gang disputes. The trial revealed that firearms and ammunition were not only stored for immediate use but also intended for broader distribution within the gang.

The Harrow Road Boys, based around the Mozart Estate in West Kilburn, and CGM, associated with Digga D, have been engaged in long‑standing postcode rivalries. These disputes have included diss tracks, online threats, and several physical altercations over recent years. The feud has resulted in numerous violent incidents and retaliatory attacks across North and West London.

The seven convicted men and their sentences are as follows:

• Jayvon Tison, also known as Lil Dotz – 17 years
• Mustafa Abdalla – 17 years
• Romello Briggs-Leon – 17 years
• Yasin Abdulla – 17 years
• Kylann Grannum – 17 years
• Two additional defendants, whose sentences brought the collective total to 116 years

A separate defendant, Abraham Safo Frimpong, was acquitted of the gun conspiracy but convicted of smuggling a mobile phone into prison. He received a sentence of two years.

Rapper Marvin Bailey, known as Fredo, was named in court as a suspected co‑conspirator. Prosecutors presented digital evidence suggesting he was involved in discussions to obtain firearms as part of the plot. Fredo did not attend court and is believed to be abroad. He has not been charged in connection with the case at this time.

Although not the focus of the trial, the gang tensions that led to this conspiracy followed a number of fatal incidents. Among them was the killing of 26‑year‑old Daneche Tison, brother of convicted gang member Jayvon Tison. He was shot outside flats in Queen’s Park in July 2022 and died later in hospital.

Other lives lost amid the conflict include Jeffery Wegbe and Billy McClaugh, both of whom were killed in separate incidents linked to postcode violence. Their deaths remain under investigation or unsolved, and continue to represent the devastating human cost of gang disputes.

Digga D, real name Rhys Herbert, is currently serving a sentence of three years and eleven months for the commercial supply of 45 kilograms of cannabis.

He was not charged in connection with this case, but the court acknowledged he was the primary target of the conspiracy.
