Tuesday, new weapons were discovered and seized in Port Lafiteau (north of the capital), a dozen 12-gauge rifles.

Let's recall that this is the 4th seizure of weapons at Port Lafiteau since September 2016 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-19168-haiti-flash-new-discovery-of-firearms-in-a-container.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18738-haiti-flash-2nd-seizure-of-weapons-to-st-marc-customs.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18569-haiti-flash-worrying-seizure-of-weapons-from-the-usa.html

After the finding of the Justice of Peace Lévêque, the rifles were transferred to the Office of the Public Prosecutor of Port-au-Prince. Information confirmed by the Government Commissioner.

For the moment no information on this seizure of weapons has been communicated either on the provenance or on the owner of these arms entered illegally in the Haitian territory...

For the time being the authorities refuse to comment on this case...
