Is there a lot of crime in Montevideo?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Like any major city, Montevideo, does experience crime. The most common types of crime are petty theft, pickpocketing, and bag snatching, particularly in downtown areas and at tourist attractions. Violent crime such as armed robbery and carjacking can also occur, although it is less common. Residential burglaries are a concern in some neighborhoods. Drug trafficking and related crimes are also issues in certain areas of the city. However, the Uruguayan government has been taking steps to improve safety and security, and many parts of Montevideo remain relatively safe. It's always important for residents and visitors to stay vigilant and take precautions to protect themselves and their belongings," said a member in Montevideo, Uruguay.
