AROUND 150 military police officers from Central America arrived in Haiti on Saturday to reinforce a US-backed intervention in the Caribbean country.

A deployment of around 75 security officers, mostly from Guatemala, arrived on Saturday at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince and was met by Kenyan commander Godfrey Otunge.

The intervention force has for months been fighting a losing battle to quell gang violence in Haiti.
