U.S. issues travel advisory for The Bahamas due to violent crime, including sexual assaults - WKRN
The U.S. Department of State issued a travel advisory this week which recommends visitors exercise increased caution in The Bahamas due to crime.
Federal officials issued the advisory saying that violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assault, is common, even during the day and in tourist areas.
Although the family islands are not crime-free, the vast majority of crime occurs on New Providence and Grand Bahama islands. U.S. government personnel are not permitted to visit the Sand Trap area in Nassau due to crime, officials said.
