Is there a lot of crime in Nicaragua?

"Nicaragua has experienced levels of crime that vary by region. Organized crime is an issue in certain areas, though generally the level of such activities is limited. Common criminal activities include robbery, burglary, assault, and theft. Drug trafficking is a growing concern in Nicaragua, primarily related to the production and trafficking of cocaine sourced from Colombia and Peru. Illegal mining and logging are also problems in certain parts of the country. However, the tourist areas in Nicaragua are generally considered safe and visitor crime is rare," said another expat in Nicaragua.

"It is relatively safe and we have experienced less crime here than in the states. We use common sense such as using taxis after dark, not driving at night, etc. Having said that, Nicaragua is a poor country and there is more common theft. For example, if you lay your phone, IPod, laptop on your table at a restaurant and turn away, it will be gone. It is important to have good neighbors and to form friendships with them. Our home has never been robbed in the past five years here," wrote a member who made the move to Granada, Nicaragua.
