Was waiting for something in the papers to post this.
Friday night in Jardin Deportivo (about 3km east of Cabarete) there was a robbery of a French resident's home. Police actually got involved in this one.
Apparently two Haitians robbed the house & fled in the homeowner's car. A policeman was shot in the leg at some point after the robbery & shots were fired at the fleeing car. The car wrecked, killing one of the men inside (official story is injuries sustained in - not after - the accident were what killed him), the other fled on foot.

Friday night police were witnessed approaching, talking to, and in at least one instance detaining any Haitian or Haitian-appearing people in and around Cabarete's beach area and other venues. This was quite possibly a result of this incident.
