Criminal activity and infrastructure issues in Trujillo

Overview

In mid-October 2026, an explosive device was detonated at a residence in the Primavera urbanization of Trujillo. The attack, which occurred on Isaac Albeniz Street, caused significant material damage to the property. Authorities suspect the incident was an act of extortion by criminal gangs seeking protection money, noting that a similar threat had occurred at the same location several weeks prior.

By late October, residents in the Víctor Larco district reported a different crisis involving a suspected water pipe burst in the Buenos Aires Centro neighborhood. The resulting leak caused flooding across several blocks, leading to concerns regarding stagnant water and potential health risks, such as dengue. Residents expressed frustration over the lack of a timely response from the utility provider, Sedalib.
