Is there a lot of crime in San Carlos?

"San Carlos, like many other cities, experiences its share of crime. However, it is not considered one of the most dangerous cities in the country. The most common types of crime reported are petty theft and burglary. Violent crimes such as assault and robbery are less common but still occur. Tourists are advised to take precautions, especially at night, to avoid becoming victims of crime. Despite these issues, many residents and visitors feel relatively safe in San Carlos, especially compared to other larger cities in Nicaragua. The local police force is active in maintaining security and responding to reported incidents," remarked another expat who made the move to San Carlos, Nicaragua.
