The Marchand Dessalines police station was completely destroyed on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, by the Kokorat san ras gangs from La Croix-Périsse and Gran grif from Savien, “joining their forces” in the City of the Emperor, according to Deputy Dunelson Duval.
“Using several sledgehammers, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the bandits took the necessary time to demolish the building of the Haitian National Police (PNH),” Dunelson Duval explained to the newspaper, stating that “the population had been waiting, for several months, for 16 police officers assigned to the municipality.”
After the arson attacks by the Kokorat san ras gang on the night of July 16 to 17, 2025, “we had done everything to repair the premises, which remained empty until this second criminal operation, more disastrous than the first,” emphasized the representative of the executive power in the district, who questions the “irresponsible” behavior of the departmental police authorities.
