- Kidnapping cases spectacular made with public transport vehicles;

- Transport of arms and ammunition in public transport vehicles;

- Drivers and passengers victims of bullets lost in the boarding stations at Portail Léogâne recently.

It is prohibited for all public transport vehicles to cross the perimeter of Portail Léogâne in Bizonton and from Bizoton to Portail Léogâne from Monday 15 May 2023 until official authorization from the National Police of Haiti (PNH) through the press, ensuring the safety of lives and property of road users in Martissant, Blvd Harry Truman and surrounding areas.
