St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands – On March 25, 2025, the Economic Crimes Unit initiated an investigation into a complaint of Obtaining Money by False Pretense filed by the Virgin Islands Department of Health (DOH). The investigation revealed that Kadrion Lomack impersonated an employee of Germfree, a company contracted by DOH to conduct laboratory and cleanroom manufacturing services. Lomack contacted DOH via email and fraudulently requested that outstanding payments owed to Germfree be redirected to a new account at Citi Bank under Lomack’s control. Due to the false representations, made through the use of a computer, Lomack unlawfully obtained $412,190.00 from the Government of the Virgin Islands—funds that were legitimately owed to Germfree.
As a result of the investigation, an arrest warrant was obtained for Kadrion Lomack in reference to this matter and was entered into the National Crime Information Center database. On March 6, 2026, Kadrion Lomack was apprehended while having vehicle issues on the highway in the state of Illinois and placed in custody due to the outstanding warrant.
On March 23, 2026, the Virgin Islands Police Department Extradition Unit escorted Kadrion Lomack to the territory, where he was placed under arrest at the Henry E. Rohlsen airport by the Economic Crimes Unit Detectives. Lomack was transported to the Wilbur H. Francis Police Operation Building, where he was served the arrest warrant and read his Miranda Rights. Lomack refused to provide a statement. Subsequently, Kadrion Lomack, 33, was booked and charged with Obtaining Money by False Pretense, Grand Larceny, Participating in Fraud on Creditors, Fraudulent Claims Upon the Government, And Access to Computer for Fraudulent Purposes.
Based on the incident, bail was set at $20,000.00 for the alleged incident. Unable to post bail, Lomack was remanded to the John A. Bell Adult Correction Facility pending his Advice of Rights Hearing.
