"With the blackout that's befallen the Haitian capital, bandits are taking advantage to harass and rape women and young girls under the tents," The Telegraph quoted Police Chief Mario Andresol, as saying.

"We have more than 7,000 detainees in the streets who escaped from the National Penitentiary the evening of the earthquake... It took us five years to apprehend them. Today they are running wild," he added.
