For more than ten days, the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the police officers of the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS) have been engaged in a fierce fight against armed gangs in the commune of Petite-rivière-de-l'Artibonite, particularly in the locality of Savien.

Thanks to the intensification of operations in the commune aimed at restoring order and security, the fight against organized crime is making significant progress.

Armed bandits, identified as members of the "Gran Grif" gang, were fatally injured in exchanges of fire with law enforcement, as part of these operations.

Unfortunately, on Saturday, December 28, 2024, in the locality of Savien during a patrol, an armored vehicle of the Mission broke down. Despite the efforts of the police, the armored vehicle had to be abandoned and was set on fire by the thugs. No victims were reported among the police officers

It should be noted that the Haitian National Police (PNH) renews its determination to dismantle all gang hotbeds operating in the Artibonite department and calls on the population not to be intimidated by the diversions of criminal gangs.
