Vehicle with fake licence plate linked to multiple crime in Trujillo
According to Google News PE — Crime, the National Police of Peru (PNP) confirmed that the van used in the kidnapping and multiple murder recorded in Trujillo had a cloned licence plate, a method frequently employed by criminal organisations to hinder their identification and tracking.
The authorities determined the irregularity of the vehicle as part of the investigations initiated following the violent incident. The use of cloned licence plates complicates police intelligence work, since the registration number corresponds to another vehicle in legal circulation.
The PNP did not specify, in the information released, the number of victims or the identity of those responsible. Proceedings continue with the aim of identifying and apprehending the perpetrators of the crime. Trujillo, capital of the La Libertad region, regularly registers episodes of violence linked to disputes between criminal gangs.
