Human trafficking arrests in Moraga
By Vera Kochan
After receiving complaints for several months about suspected nefarious activity at a Miramonte Drive home in Moraga, investigators compiled enough information to obtain a search warrant and accompany a Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office SWAT team to the residence on Sept. 30.
Three suspects were arrested without incident and booked at the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez: Herbert Williams, 35, of Moraga (warrant - human trafficking, pimping and pandering); Alexa Landa, 30, of Moraga (warrant - human trafficking, pimping and pandering); and Justin Lewis, 31, of Oakley (identity theft and possession of controlled substance).
Firearms and other evidence were also seized during the warrant service. Developments have come to light that Williams and Landa may be involved in additional crimes both in Contra Costa and San Mateo counties.
As of Oct. 7, Moraga Police Detective Kevin Mooney stated, "There is not really anything else I can disclose right now." The investigation is ongoing at this time. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Mooney at (925) 888-7056.
