As in any city around the world, there is petty theft and other minor crime. The community of San Pancho has come together to help reduce petty crime and increase security in general, by looking out for suspicious behavior or activity and bringing it to the attention of the town’s residents and policia turistica as soon as it occurs. But take precautions and use common sense. Do not travel with unnecessary valuables and use provided safes in your vacation rental home. Close and lock all windows and doors when going out. And do not leave any valuables visible in parked cars.
