[jim15687]

Just heard the policia, politur, immigration and the judge from the court house was raid in all the salons in town today.

They hit the beach HARD yesterday. Two pickup trucks, a couple motorcycles and a half dozen police on foot. They were going inside the shops, checking everywhere...even taking cell phones of suspected Haitians to see their numbers dialed/contact list then would proclaim, "HAITIAN" and load them into one of the trucks.

Damn I wish this site had spell check.

Big round-ups of illegal immigrants (Haitians) going on from Sosua to Sabaneta starting yesterday and continuing today. Truckloads are being shipped out.

Presumably this is nationwide as the new immigration laws came into effect this week.

I have been told that if they pay the officers RD$1,500 - RD$2,000 they are let off the truck.

Could be an expensive week for Sidney and Robert.:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

My laptop has spell check for my posts here. Not sure if it's an option that has to be enabled or not.

Despite spelling and/or grammar I understood the intention of the poster (as I assume did most members) and appreciate the information he passed on to the rest of us. A BIG THANK YOU FROM FESTY!!!

Haven't seen any of this yet down where I am, but I guess maybe it is coming.

mi guess the days of the $300 Peso Blow Jobs for Roberto in Sosua might be gone do to so few Haitians

[JD426]

So the other Rumor about a tourist being Robbed and killed by a Haitian was just a Rumor , or true and just not related ?

You just reminded me I need to read up on his thread so I know who to avoid next time down there so he's not spending all my money that I give her.

Nothing in any of the local papers so far......

I heard from a reliable source that a gringo was robbed and stabbed walking back from Cabarete center on the beach to or towards Tangerine late at night (I think it was Saturday night). I was told that first a woman approached him from the area of the defunct, torn down hotel, and then three guys ran out and robbed and stabbed the guy. Supposedly he's in the hospital in Puerto Plata recovering.

More likely the raids are related to the killing of a police sergeant in Sosua a couple of days ago while chasing robbers:
