Road security incidents in Colombia

Overview

In Colombia, travelers reported attacks on the Pore - Paz de Ariporo road on the Marginal del Llano highway. Individuals placed stones and sticks on the roadway to force vehicles to stop, resulting in damage to cars, motorcycles, and a bus operated by the company Libertadores. Local citizens suggested the attackers were two men, potentially from an indigenous community, acting with the intent to commit robberies.

The National Police deployed patrols from the Pore and Paz de Ariporo stations to secure the area, but the suspects fled into a nearby forested zone during the operation.
