Is there a lot of crime in Puerto Rico?

"Puerto Rico has been grappling with crime for many years, with issues ranging from petty theft to more serious crimes such as drug trafficking and homicides. The island has a high crime rate, particularly in the capital city of San Juan. Drug-related crimes are a significant issue, with drug trafficking and gang violence contributing to the high crime rate. Similarly, Ecuador also faces its share of crime. Petty theft, pickpocketing, and bag snatching are common, particularly in tourist areas and on public transportation. More serious crimes, such as armed robbery, home invasions, and sexual assault, also occur. In certain areas, drug-related crime and gang violence are prevalent. Both countries have been implementing various strategies to combat crime and improve safety," said another expat in Puerto Rico, Ecuador.
