Crime and policing concerns in Chiclayo

Overview

In late July 2026, a home robbery in the José Leonardo Ortiz district of Chiclayo was captured on security cameras, showing two men stealing cash, jewelry and a laptop while a police patrol passed without intervening. The incident added to a series of recent thefts, prompting residents to call for a stronger police presence.
