Rampant Illegal Motorcycles and Security Negligence in Lebanon’s Matn Region

“Lebanese Debate”

A disturbing phenomenon that citizens complain about, especially within the northern Matn region, specifically Jal El Dib, Zalka and Besalim, which is the illegality of a number of motorcycles whose legality is questionable in terms of their license plates or the absence of plates on them at all, and therefore the possibility that they are stolen.

The concern about these bikes is that they are roaming with two young men who are strangers to the area on board, and they carry visible weapons, which appear to be Turkish-made weapons of the cheap type, a large number of which were seized from a merchant in the northern region.

The people there notice that these people come several times to the same neighborhood or street to monitor their targets and return, not later, to carry out their theft or robbing them of the target that was monitored.

All this takes place in the absence of security patrols combating this phenomenon or even stopping the owners of these bikes to ask them at least about their identity papers, especially since the bikes also seem to be stolen or their plates are forged.

In this context, a security reference in a private council did not hide what is happening in the security centers that lack the presence of military vehicles due to their breakdown and the lack of a budget for their maintenance, not to mention the lack of sufficient personnel in the centers, as the personnel cannot come daily to the center in light of the low salaries that are not available. Enough to get him to his work station for the whole month.

This reality of the status of the security centers did not move the political forces, which did not yet appreciate the size of the risks resulting from leaving the security services without care.

According to the story that “security is in control”, the statements of the security forces about the low crime rate are trying to throw ashes into the eyes, and the regression is not a crime, but rather the regression of the percentage of those who filed complaints about what they were subjected to because they are certain that this is useless because the security forces have become incapable, given their current situation, to prosecute crimes Small, especially theft and pickpocketing operations, in addition to the costs incurred by the complainant exceeding what was stolen.
