L’arrestation
samedi à Dame-Marie de l’ancien puissant chef de gang de Simon Pelé,
condamné en 2009 et évadé de prison depuis 2010, constitue le troisième
gros coup de filet réalisé en une semaine, selon le porte-parole de la
police, Frantz Lerebours, qui fait état d’une réduction progressive de
la liste des bandits les plus recherchés.
Des éléments d’unités spécialisées de la
Police Nationale ont mis fin samedi à une cavale longue de près deux ans
en procédant à l’arrestation de l’ancien redoutable chef de gang William
Baptiste alias « Ti Blanc », lors d’une opération menée à Dame-Marie,
commune de la Grand’Anse (sud-ouest) où il s’était réfugié ces derniers
mois.
Le porte-parole de la PNH, Frantz Lrebours,
qui en a fait l’annonce, souligne que le repris de justice -appréhendé
une première fois en 2007 avant d’être jugé- est le troisième gros
poisson à tomber cette semaine dans les filets des forces de sécurité
après Stanley Figaro (à ne pas confondre avec le confrère expatrié) et
Mario Thermidor. Ils figuraient tous sur la liste des 25 bandits les
plus recherchés.
Très impliqué dans les activités
criminelles (assassinats et enlèvements), qui se multipliaient à
Port-au-Prince en 2004 et 2005 dans le cadre de « l’opération Bagdad »
ayant suivi la chute de Jean-Bertrand Aristide, « Ti Blanc » était le
patron d’un puissant gang qui menait la vie dure à la population de
Simon Pelé, un quartier populaire de la capitale.
En juillet 2009, un tribunal criminel
présidé par le juge Carvès Jean l’avait condamné à 14 ans de réclusion
pour association de malfaiteurs et vol à mains armées en compagnie de
douze membres de sa bande spécialisée dans le kidnapping.
Mais, comme beaucoup d’autres détenus
dangereux, William Baptiste s’était évadé du Pénitencier national, la
prison civile de Port-au-Prince, lors du séisme dévastateur du 12
janvier 2010.
Se félicitant de cette capture, le
commissaire Frantz Lerebours estime que d’autres caïds activement
recherchés pourraient se trouver dans la région sud. Dans la foulée, il
a exprimé la détermination de la police à ne pas laisser en liberté les
individus impliqués dans le banditisme afin de garantir la tranquillité
des citoyens.

Last Saturday, shortly before a visit of
President Martelly to Dame Marie, specialized agents of the National Police
of Haiti [UDMO and SWAT] have managed to capture, after two years on the
run, the dangerous Chief of gang William Baptiste aka "Ti Blanc Pelé" when
he prevailed in the past, to Simon-Pelé, a neighborhood of Cité Soleil].
Escaped from the penitentiary during the January 2010 earthquake, this powerful gang leader, had taken refuge, apparently there since last November in the southern region where he continued his criminal activities.
The Commissioner Frantz Lerebours Spokesperson of the PNH, reiterating the determination of the PNH to ensure the safety and tranquility of the citizens, clarified that William Baptiste, was on the list of the 25 most wanted criminals in Haiti and believes that other bosses (caïds) actively sought, could be in the region.
The senator Andris Riché (Grand Anse - Alternative) which confirms the news, believes that it is alleged to this individual numerous exactions of political activists in the region and its citizens. "...For several months we denounce his presence [...] it is a guy at can made any acts in the area [...] is a good thing that he's locked up. This is not a small case, a guy which is linked with a set of case of kidnappings, assassinations, armed robbery etc... [...] he was a danger for the city...
I asked on several occasions his arrest, but they [the police] did not. Just now I heard they made a haul and they have captured it, I said it's fine and I hope this time they will put it in a safe place, to prevent it to made once again the disorder in the country. This individual is part of the bandits, who came to shoot my house, in the last elections [...] it's true that they are professionals and police in the area is not sufficient to act against them, because everyone was afraid of them. Today, it is thanks to the SWAT and UDMO that we have finally apprehended this individual..."
