Is there a lot of crime in Runaway Bay?

"Runaway Bay, experiences its share of crime, similar to other areas in the country. While it is considered relatively safer than some other Jamaican cities, tourists and residents should still exercise caution. Petty theft, pickpocketing, and burglaries are common, particularly in tourist areas. Violent crimes, such as assault and robbery, can also occur, but they are less frequent. The local police and security forces work to maintain safety and reduce crime in the area, but it is essential for visitors and residents to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their belongings," remarked another expat who made the move to Runaway Bay, Jamaica.
