Is there a lot of crime in Sihanoukville?

"Sihanoukville has experienced a rise in crime rates in recent years. This increase is largely attributed to the city's rapid development and influx of foreign investment, particularly in the casino and entertainment industry. The most common crimes reported are petty theft, pickpocketing, and bag snatching, often targeting tourists. There have also been reports of more serious crimes such as assault, robbery, and sexual violence. Drug-related crimes and corruption are also prevalent issues. The local police force has been criticized for their lack of response and alleged involvement in some criminal activities. Despite these issues, many areas of Sihanoukville remain safe and the city continues to be a popular tourist destination. However, visitors are advised to take precautions and remain vigilant to avoid becoming victims of crime," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
