The Bogotá District Secretariat of Security has issued recommendations to prevent and respond to the 'pinchallantas' criminal modality. This scam involves criminals throwing sharp objects on the road to damage vehicle tires, subsequently directing victims to workshops that charge excessive fees or commit fraud. Drivers are advised not to accept immediate help from strangers after a flat tire, but rather to call 123 to receive guidance from the authorities. It is crucial to provide details of the incident, such as location, time, descriptions of suspects, and photographic or video evidence, to facilitate investigations. If visiting a workshop, it is recommended to verify that prices are clearly displayed to ensure transparency in the service. The Mayor's Office and the Police are conducting operations to supervise the legality and reliability of these establishments.
