publimetro.co (Spanish)

A Bogotá motorcycle group, "Los Picaminosos," is under investigation for allegedly interfering with police operations targeting illegal transportation. Authorities have identified at least 15 instances where members of "Los Picaminosos" have violently obstructed traffic and security procedures, including preventing the impounding of motorcycles. The group, with over 52,000 social media members, charges fees and operates a 24/7 radio system to monitor police movements. The group initially aimed to support motorcycle app drivers, but former members claim its focus has shifted. Other motorcycle groups have condemned "Los Picaminosos," and authorities are gathering evidence for potential legal action.
