Bermuda has a moderate but growing crime rate. Recent crime statistics can be viewed at the official website of the Bermuda Police Service. Examples of common crimes include theft of unattended baggage and items from rental motorbikes, purse snatching (often perpetrated by thieves riding motor scooters), mugging and theft from hotel rooms. Valuables left in hotel rooms (occupied and unoccupied) or left unattended in public areas are vulnerable to theft.

Travelers should exercise caution when walking after dark or visiting out-of-the-way places on the island as they can be vulnerable to theft and sexual assault, and because narrow and dark roadways can contribute to accidents. There have been reports of incidents of sexual assault and acquaintance rape; in the past, the use of “date rape” drugs such as Rohypnol has been reported in the media and confirmed by local authorities.

Travelers should also note an increase in gang presence in Bermuda and should take regular precautions to avoid confrontation; there have been no reports of gang violence targeted towards visitors to Bermuda. The back streets of the city of Hamilton are often the setting for nighttime assaults, particularly after the bars close.
