The National Police has in its records 7.396 complaints filed by people who claim to have been robbed by suspects who were traveling by motorcycle.
According to the national statistics of the police entity, 1.739 motorcycles were used to steal, perpetrate crimes and carry drugs.
The largest attacks have been committed in the cities of Quito and Guayaquil, as well as in the provinces of Los Ríos, Guayas and El Oro. Only in the capital 778 cases have been reported. One of these cases shocked the capital when a couple assaulted the customers of a pizzeria and fled on a motorcycle.
In operations deployed by the uniformed officers, they also found motorized vehicles transporting drugs in places that are destined for food. That is why the actions to detect these mafias have increased, especially in Quito and Guayaquil.
The objective is to identify drivers who travel without documents in order, have adulterated transport information or are reported as responsible for a crime.
The Municipal Transit Authority (ATM) of Guayaquil indicated that, between January and November, its personnel have detained 2.477 motorcycles, because the owners did not have papers.
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Transit Agency (AMT) of Quito mentioned that in 2020 it has sanctioned 8.000 drivers who did not carry a license and 974 who did not have the registration or the document was expired.
These numbers are higher than those registered in 2019, when 4.923 admonitions were reported for the first cause and 544, for the second.
So far this year, 1.739 motorcycles related to crimes such as robbery or murders have been detained in the country.
In addition, the agents have dismantled 24 criminal organizations dedicated to motorcycle theft.
Before this panorama, the Government ordered, last Tuesday, the installation of security committees in the country, in order to fight crime.
