Some of the reasons are atypical (not fit into a criminal type of crime), impossibility of finding the active subject (the one who commits the crime) or impossibility of finding the taxpayer (the victim of the crime), reported Noticentro CM &.
According to the statistics, presented by that newsletter, Between March 20 and August 31, it was evidenced that 60% of complaints across the country ended buried.
The situation is particularly critical in Bogotá. In the capital of the country, 36,822 complaints for theft of bicycles were filed (57% of the total complaints filed throughout the country), added that newscast.
One of the filed complaints, in Bogota, was that of Jhon Jairo Jaimes. This man, an artist and designer by profession, told Pulzo on August 28 the way he was assaulted by two criminals while he was in his bicycle in the north of the city.
“Two guys came out and crossed me; I tried to avoid them, but one of them pulled out a blank pistol and shot me point-blank in the eye. He hit the cannon in my eye. It destroyed my bone, my eyelid and I have an impact on my orbit ”, Jaimes told Pulzo that moment.
The man, who sadly lost his right eye, received notification this week that his case was to be closed. “Unfortunately, I’m going through a temporary file. I find it incredible that after a few days they already file my case”, Added Jaimes, in dialogue with Noticentro CM &.
At the time, Jaimes also denounced what happened, on his Twitter account:
I was assaulted 4 hours ago on the 76 bike path with approximately 28. I am in observation possibly losing an eye because they shot me point-blank in it. I go to this page to help find the culprits. My cycle was a gw hyena that didn’t happen to anyone else. pic.twitter.com/9RGmiaYbRI

Bicycle theft is the only crime that has increased, according to the Mayor’s Office
The Mayor of Bogota recognizes the theft of bikes as the only crime that has grown during confinement due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the most recent report on security and coexistence of the District Secretary of Security, bicycle theft has increased by 59% during August 2020, compared to August 2019.
The official document indicates that In the course of 2020, 7,121 stolen bicycles have been reported in Bogotá, while in the same period of 2019 only 5,229 were reported.
Given the constant robberies and the lack of support from the authorities, some cyclists, tired of being victims of assaults, are resorting to the informal purchase of bats, sticks and chains to arm yourself against insecurity.
