With borders opening up and more international travelers, the FBI says it has seen an increase in violence, theft, kidnapping and virtual kidnapping.
Jamie Donnelly The FBI in Tucson has a sobering message for spring break travelers: Be careful out there.
“With borders opening up and COVID-19 numbers coming down, we’re having more international travelers, so we’ve seen an increase in general violence, theft, kidnapping and virtual kidnapping,” said Jon Edwards, an FBI supervisory special agent in Tucson. Travelers may also be targeted and exploited since they don’t have knowledge on the area they are visiting, Edwards said. He says tourists should have information about law enforcement as well as consulates or embassies for areas they are visiting.
Not sharing personal information with others, avoiding posting personal information on social media and avoiding traveling with people you just met to places you aren’t familiar with are all tips for traveling safely.
