Summer vacations have just begun, and scooter gangs are reportedly racing around and engaging in street brawls. The National Police Administration (NPA) has declared war on scooter gangs and wants to stop them spreading from New Taipei City to Taoyuan. The Taoyuan City Police Department requested the NPA to assign 160 security and SWAT officers to aid the mission. Starting from the night of July 4, police have been cracking down on dangerous driving and have set up checkpoints on Taoyuan’s main intercity roads. Police raids will go on until the end of August.
The police department said that July 4 and 5 marked the start of the first wave of crackdowns. Taoyuan’s 10 police precincts have dispatched officers to areas with a high incidence of gang activities in their respective jurisdictions. Guishan District borders on New Taipei City’s Sinjhuang and Linkou districts. Its primary intercity roads include Wanshou Road, which links Guishan and Sinjhuang; Wenhua First, Second and Third roads; and Zhongyi and Qingshan roads, which connect Guishan and Linkou. After completing their night drills, 52 officers from the Guishan District Police Station in a dozen police cars conducted sweeping patrols of the intercity roads, setting up checkpoints around midnight and clamping down on dangerous driving behaviors such as speeding, weaving, vehicle modifications and loud noise.
Liao Heng-yu, superintendent of Guishan Precinct, says that Guishan has a unique geographical environment, with both upper and lower Guishan bordering on New Taipei City. On July 3, police were stationed to patrol intercity roads, set up checkpoints and prevent scooter gangs from spreading to Taoyuan. During the period of the special youth project, the police have made arrangements to patrol these areas on a daily basis.
