CTN News

Sandley Silien, Saintaman Jackson, Blanc Henry Claude and Johnny Fertijuste were arrested on Friday, June 24, 2022 for illegal drug trafficking, as part of a joint operation of the Police of the North-West and the Artibonite.

They were caught in flagrante delicto with seven (7) kilos of white substance and a 9mm revolver, during a targeted search following relevant information on the probable existence of narcotics aboard a Nissan pickup, white in color, without license plates that would carry a shipment of cocaine.


The four (4) offenders were intercepted by the UDMO of the North-West who patrols the Ti Bois-d’homme section commonly known as VAR, around 10:15 PM. The police officers from Artibonite quickly joined those from the North’Ouest to secure the scene and take charge of the case, since the infraction was committed in the jurisdiction of Artibonite.


Once informed of the situation, the North-West Departmental Director of the PNH contacted the Brigade for the Fight against Drug Trafficking and informed the Government Commissioner of Port-de-Paix who tried in vain to communicate the facts with his counterpart in Artibonite. It should be noted that the Justice of the Peace of Gros Morne refused to make the report for security reasons, he said.


The two teams remained on the scene until the arrival of the BLTS on Saturday, June 25, 2022 at approximately 01:00 AM.
