Independence prohibits two people from traveling on a motorcycle
The Municipality of Independencia has announced a new measure to confront crime. This regulation prohibits two people from riding linear motorcycles in this and other districts in the north of Lima that are under a state of emergency. The measure was approved by a majority in the Municipal Council on Monday the 14th and will be published soon in the official newspaper El Peruano.

Authorities believe that restricting the use of two-passenger motorcycles will be an important step forward in the fight against crime.
“We want to prevent these criminals from moving in pairs. It would be a good first step to combat crime,” declared the mayor, Alfredo Reynaga. “According to the statistics of our citizen security manager, we know that criminals involved in robberies, extortions and murders often use linear motorcycles.”
