What are the common roles played by criminals in public transport robberies?

Answered from 1 conversation · Updated July 2026

Criminals often operate in organized groups using specific roles to facilitate theft in crowded spaces like buses or subways. The 'esparo' is responsible for pushing or creating a distraction, while the 'lancero' performs the actual theft. The primary tool used by these groups is the distraction of the passenger.
