Is there a lot of crime in Canoa?

"Canoa is generally considered a safe and peaceful town. However, like any other place, it is not completely free from crime. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag snatching can occur, especially in crowded areas or at night. Violent crimes are relatively rare, but it's always important for residents and tourists to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions. The local authorities are continuously working to maintain safety and security in the area," remarked another expat who made the move to Canoa, Ecuador.
