Operation in Village de Dieu, Haitian National Police Continues to Make Progress

Port-au-Prince, Haiti – Law enforcement conducted a strategic drone-backed operation this Saturday morning in the Village de Dieu area to prevent the looting of a previously stolen truck loaded with iron.

According to information gathered from security sources, the intervention is part of a series of operations aimed at securing the peripheral areas of the neighborhood. It began with a clearing of the Ti Fanny area, located below the capital, to create a corridor allowing units to advance towards the entrance of Village de Dieu.

The operation was triggered by the theft, which occurred the night before last, of a truck carrying a cargo of iron. The vehicle, which had broken down, was towed by armed individuals into the gang-controlled neighborhood.

This Saturday morning, as the assailants attempted to unload the material, law enforcement deployed two drones to intervene and stop the operation.

The provisional assessment reports the neutralization of the truck driver and two to three other individuals involved, preventing any recovery by gang members. A pickup truck was also spotted at the scene of the incident.

No major operation has been reported so far in the Carrefour-Feuilles area. However, authorities assure that aerial surveillance remains active and that security operations will continue until the objectives set for the Village de Dieu sector are achieved.
