Is there a lot of crime in Mazatlan?

"There is a lot of crime here, but we see very little of it, as the "tourist" areas a somewhat sheltered from it. We don't have a lot of trouble with pickpockets or muggings. We were robbed in our house one night, but our house had a vulnerable window and it was a crime of opportunity. We have secured that window and have had no more trouble in the past 10+ years. There is some amount of problem with people stealing copper pipes and wires from roofs," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mazatlan, Mexico.

"Mazatlan is generally considered a safe city with a low crime rate. Thefts and robberies are the most common incidents reported, although locals say that such events are rare and tend to be non-violent. Additionally, other than people common sense and precautionary measures, there is not much to worry about in terms of crime. In recent years, authorities in Mazatlan have cracked down on violence, resulting in much improved safety and security conditions," commented one expat who made the move to Mazatlan, Mexico.
