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.

A week later, in the Las Brisas neighborhood, four medical interns were robbed by motorbike assailants near a newly built police station. Despite the new facility, locals reported a lack of regular patrols and felt unprotected, underscoring ongoing concerns about inadequate policing and public safety in Chiclayo.
