Explanation:
"riding-in-tandem" fa riferimento agli scippi ai passanti a bordo di motorini e simili. Non ho trovato un termine esatto e in ogni caso riformulerei così la frase in italiano, per come è posta in inglese.

Explanation:
Riding in tandem according to Merriam-Webster
dictionary is a group of two or more persons arranged one behind
the other or two individuals acting in conjunction. Because this
term ‘’riding in tandem’’ was newly introduced in the Philippines
we are lacking of resources to define this term but in accordance
to our study it means an act of riding of two individuals on a
motorcycle or scooter.
