Haiti - FLASH : Strong operation of the PNH in the territory of «Barbecue»
17/03/2024 11:01:39

Friday March 17, 2024 in the evening, a strong operation involving several specialized units of the Haitian National Police (PNH) including the Intervention and Maintenance Corps (CIMO), the Operation and Intervention Departmental Brigade (BOID) and SWAT took place in the Bas Delmas 6 neighborhood, "Barbecue" territory with the aim of unblocking roads as part of a strategy to recover spaces occupied by armed gangs in recent days, in order to facilitate the free movement of citizens.

Several members of the "Barbecue" gang were fatally injured during the violent clashes and intense exchanges of fire with the police at Delmas 6 and 8.

Firearms were seized and roads unblocked with heavy machinery from the Special Police Unit in Bas-Delmas. "We do not know the number of weapons recovered. We were told that several bandits were killed but I do not have the exact number," declared Lionel Lazarre, coordinator of the National Union of Haitian Police (Synapoha).

For its part, the PNH informs that a report on the progress of operations will shortly be presented to the public.
