\"crime\"The US Department of State\u2019s annual Crime and Safety Report on the Bahamas has again warned Americans of the level of criminal activity against locals and tourists in this country.<\/p>\n

The 2014 report, released on May 28, states that last year there was a significant increase in violent crimes in locations frequented by American tourists in 2013.<\/p>\n

The report added: \u201cArmed robberies, property theft, purse snatching and general theft of personal property remain the most common crimes perpetrated against tourists.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany criminals carry firearms, machetes or knives. Unless provoked, criminals engaged in property crimes do not generally engage in gratuitous violence. There have been several reported armed robberies using a knife where the assailant assaulted the victim after the victim fought back and resisted. Many of these armed robberies were snatch-and-grabs involving purses, jewelry and gold necklaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

The number of assault reports also caught the eye of the Americans who noted that sexual assaults in hotel rooms, casinos, outside hotels and on cruise ships had increased.<\/p>\n
