Crime in Parts of Belize Draws U.S. Alert

Belize:

The U.S. State Department released an updated crime and safety report indicating that the country experienced a high level of criminal activity in 2014, including theft and murder. Though most of the country's tourist spots, such as the Mayan ruins and cayes, are safe for visitors, the report warned against visiting the south side of Belize City, where gang activity and other crimes are the highest in the country. The report also urged travelers to use extreme caution while driving from Belize into neighboring countries.
