Cuba is rarely thought of as a hotbed of crime, but the Department of Foreign Affairs is warning tourists that increasing numbers of Canadians have been victims of pickpocketing, theft and assault — especially in Havana's Old Havana, Centro Havana, the Malecon, and Vedado and on the beaches of Playas del Este and Varadero.
Those who are mugged and stripped of identification and money should contact the Canadian embassy before the local cops, who may just toss them in jail until their identity is confirmed and their solvency restored.
For more information, contact the embassy of Canada in Havana at 53(7) 204-2516 or visit www.havana.gc.ca.
