Is there a lot of crime in San Andres Island?

Answer this Question

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

"San Andres Island, generally has a lower crime rate compared to other parts of the country. However, like any other tourist destination, it is not completely free from crime. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, and other forms of theft can occur, particularly in crowded areas and on public transportation. Violent crimes are relatively rare, but they do occur occasionally. Drug-related crimes are also a concern due to Colombia's history with drug trafficking. It's always recommended for tourists to stay vigilant, avoid displaying valuable items, and stay in well-populated areas, especially at night," wrote a member who made the move to San Andres Island, Colombia.
