FIVE men were expected to appear virtually before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate on Monday on several gang-related charges.

Following extensive investigations into alleged criminal activities by certain members of the "6ixx gang," a police release stated, and with the assistance of external and internal partners including the Inter-Agency Task Force and the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) five men were charged on Saturday.

The police said that Calvin Lee, aka Tyson, 32, of Clifton Hill Towers, St Paul Street, Port of Spain was charged with being a gang leader and receiving a stolen car.

The other four: Akiel "Bolo" Hovel, 28, of Desperlie Crescent, Laventille; Dwayne "Docs" Skeete, 35, of Anisette Street, East Dry River, Laventille; Kerwin "Joey" and/or "Black Hand" Williams, 24, of St John Road, East Dry River, Laventille and Anthony "Master Cain" Caine of LP71, Pelican Extension, Trou Macque, Laventille were all charged with supporting a gang and receiving a stolen vehicle.

The five were arrested during an anti-crime exercise last week.
