The Bogotá Metropolitan Police, through the Transmilenio Mass Transportation Group, managed to capture in flagrante delicto three men accused of forming the gang known as “Los Topos”, dedicated to the theft of infrastructure wiring in the system. The events were recorded at the Calle 45 station, in the town of Chapinero.

The police action was triggered after the radio station alerted about strange noises coming from beneath the station during the night. With the support of Transmilenio infrastructure personnel, the uniformed officers checked the area and lifted the plates, finding a large amount of cut cable and various tools.
