With frequent reports of crimes such as thefts and muggings, all travellers should be vigilant of the manner in which they conduct themselves during the day. When moving around densely populated areas, it is advised that all your personal belongings are kept safe, that no valuable items have been left behind in vehicles and that vigilance of the surroundings are maintained at all times. While danger cannot be completely eliminated, it is recommended that a situation arise where a traveller is being robbed, that they do not resist but merely handover their items without placing themselves and their lives in a dangerous situation. Crimes to look out for would be mainly non-violent crimes like pickpocketing and vehicle theft.
