The mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López, ordered the restriction to the barbecue on motorcycle for three days of the week and in specific time slots.
(Sales of motorcycles in Colombia grew 34.5% in February compared to 2021).
The measure was announced after the security council held by the president with the Secretary of Security, Aníbal Fernández de Soto, and the Bogotá Metropolitan Police.
restriction will begin the week of April 11 and will apply for Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 7 pm and 4 am
(Issue of driver’s licenses increased 71%).
To these, other measures of local order are added to ensure order and security within the city:
1. All nightclubs will have to be linked to a security front or care network in order to articulate crime prevention efforts.
two. Parks, squares or environmental corridors will have restricted hours. According to the mayor, this is a measure that has already been applied and will be resumed. Beginning April 11, these spaces will close at 10 p.m. and reopen at 4 a.m. the following day. The mayor clarified that in some of these public spaces you can walk, but not stay. In addition, the consumption of liquor, music and/or excessive noise and other “behavior contrary to coexistence” will be prohibited.
3. Strengthen controls on certain establishments that use the trade name of clubs or union organizations to provide services that do not respond to their nature because they sell drugs or alcohol.
Four. Motorcyclists must have the plate number visible on the helmet. This is a measure that already exists, but will be expanded 24/7. According to the mayor, this prevents terrorists or criminals from committing crimes using motorcycles.
Additionally, the Bogotá Mayor’s Office and the Bogotá Metropolitan Police updated this Thursday the cartel of the most wanted men for the crimes of homicide and theft.
