Is there a lot of crime in Mazatlan?

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"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," commented one expat who made the move to Mazatlan, Mexico.
