El delincuente, sorprendido, empezó a gritar, llorar y exigir que lo dejaran salir, mientras el conductor lo mantenía bajo control hasta la llegada de las autoridades.

Overview

  • The bus, parked on Av. Los Eucaliptos, was fired on by two assailants on a motorcycle, and the driver, Gregorio Quiclla Honorio, was not injured.
  • Forensic teams recovered about seven shell casings and recorded impacts concentrated on the lower part of the vehicle, consistent with intimidation.
  • The PNP opened an investigation involving Dirincri’s homicide division and Lima Norte intelligence, with nearby CCTV under analysis and no arrests reported.
  • This is at least the third attack on Translicsa in 2025, following incidents reported in April and September that media linked to the “cobro de cupos” pattern.
  • More than 80 Translicsa drivers suspended service on Tuesday to demand security, citing reported daily extortion payments of S/10–S/20 and earlier upfront sums near S/50,000.
