Operation King Fish

In March of 2005, one of Sizzla's residences and its premises were raided by police and soldiers in a joint British and Jamaican intelligence operation called "Operation King Fish"�, which is a special task force designed to target the most notorious, violent, high-profile criminals in Jamaica. In this raid, the largest single cache of automatic weapons in Jamaica's history was discovered and confiscated, while Kalonji and thirty of his Judgement Yard associates were jailed. Sizzla was later released and the charges were dropped.

The raid was conducted due to an ongoing war between members of Judgement Yard, which is owned and operated by Sizzla, and other communites in August Town, St. Andrew of which Judgement Yard is a part. This "war" has been politically motivated for the most part as is most of the organized crime in Jamaica. Sizzla did not help his own cause as he has relased a barrage of tunes promoting gun violence recently, many of which despite being banned in Jamaica are huge hits.
