- The most critical period of the day is from 18:00 to 23:00, whe most robberies happen.
- The urbanized areas are the most targeted: Centro, Bela Vista, Vila Nova, Barra do Sahy, and Jacupemba.
- During the holidays and Summer season, incidents are likely to increase, since the influx of tourists attracts more petty crimes.
- Empty and unprotected facilities – homes and offices – are also the constant target of burglars.
- Avoid any display of wealth (jewelry, cell phones), but always carry a small amount of money (R$50) to hand over to muggers.
- In case of robbery: cooperate, do not try to run after the assailant as he or she might not be alone or turn violent.
- Avoid walking alone in poorly lit areas or beaches after nightfall.
- Be cautious at all times, including in areas perceived as safe.
