Overview
- Drivers from the Almirante Miguel Grau company, known as Los Verdes, suspended operations after receiving new death threats from the gang Los Chuckys.
- A note left on a bus at the company’s Callao yard demanded a three‑month advance payment on top of a weekly S/20 fee per unit and warned three drivers would be killed.
- Service on the Ate–Callao route stopped as buses stayed parked in depots in Ate and Santa Anita and workers gathered in Santa Anita to denounce the threats.
- Fear grew after gunmen shot at one of the company’s buses in San Luis in January without causing injuries, and drivers are pleading for urgent protection.
- Both outlets describe Los Chuckys as dedicated to extorting transport firms in Lima, raising concern that unchecked threats will keep disrupting daily commutes and worker safety.
