MOTORCYCLE BORNE FELONS A MENANCE IN PHILIPPINES


MANILA, Philippines - The government has intensified its efforts to go after motorcycle-riding criminals across the country amid the continued scourge posed by these fast-moving felons.
Last year, the Philippine National Police recorded 1,700 crimes involving suspects on motorbikes with 2,089 victims. The figure rose from 1,565 incidents in 2010 with 1,819 victims.
  • Motorbikes are increasingly the vehicle of choice for criminals because they are relatively easy to acquire or steal, difficult to trace and can outrun cars in cities.
  • Director-General Nicanor Bartolome has ordered all PNP units to launch aggressive operations against motorcycle-borne criminals.
Bartolome said, criminal elements have taken advantage of the high-speed mobility provided by motorcycles and have used these efficient vehicles as instruments of crime.
"Motorcycle-riding gunmen typically work in twos, with one steering the motorbike and a trigger-man shooting the target. This modus has been observed in past assassination incidents involving members of the media as well as government executives."
