Commissioner Desrosiers said the gang had bases in Petites Rivières de l'Artibonite Thomazeau and Verettes, from which they prepared their acts across the country, noting that research notices were issued against 10 others people clearly identified and actively sought.

Among those arrested some have confessed having attacked religious because they were easy targets and helpless, while others arrested in possession of firearms, swore they had not attacked the nuns.
