Is there a lot of crime in Arusha?

"Arusha experiences crime just like any other city, but the crime rate varies depending on the area. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, and theft are common, particularly in crowded areas and tourist hotspots. Violent crimes, including armed robbery and assault, have been reported but are less frequent. It is essential for residents and visitors to take necessary precautions, such as avoiding walking alone at night, securing personal belongings, and being aware of their surroundings to minimize the risk of becoming a victim of crime," remarked another expat who made the move to Arusha, Tanzania.
