Is there a lot of crime in Bridgetown?

"Like any city, Bridgetown experiences crime, but the rates can vary. Petty crimes such as theft and pickpocketing are the most common, especially in tourist-heavy areas. Violent crimes are less common but do occur, often linked to local disputes or gang activity. Drug-related crimes are also present. The Barbadian government and local police force actively work to combat crime and maintain safety. Tourists are advised to take standard precautions such as not displaying valuable items openly and avoiding less populated areas at night," remarked another expat who made the move to Bridgetown, Barbados.
