- Armed street and bus robberyRobbers threaten people and take their belongings. Many carry guns. Risks include walking at night, travelling on Maracaibo bus routes and visiting Paseo Orinoco after dark.
- Pickpocketing and petty theftThieves take belongings in crowded places or when valuables are left exposed. Using a phone, taking photos or opening a map can draw attention to you and your possessions.
