Bermuda has a low to moderate crime rate and this is reflected in the Island's annual crime statistics. Incidents of serious, violent crime are infrequent but thefts, assaults and stealing from homes, tourist accommodations or persons do occur. Valuables in hotel rooms (occupied or unoccupied) or left unattended on beaches or at other tourist venues are more vulnerable to theft.

The vast majority of offences are crimes of opportunity, so it therefore makes sense to take reasonable precautions to reduce your risk of becoming the victim of a crime.
