Officials in the Bahamas are grappling with a disturbing surge in violent crime that they fear could hurt tourism, a vital industry for the Caribbean archipelago.
Last month, the US State Department issued a travel advisory, citing a spike in murders in January and warning that killings ‘have occurred at all hours including in broad daylight on the streets.’
At the time of the alert, the country of just 400,000 had recorded 18 murders in 2024. That number has since jumped to 25. None of the murder victims have been foreigners.
Then earlier this month two moms from Kentucky came forward with allegations that they were raped by staff at Pirate’s Cove beach resort on Grand Bahama after receiving ‘spiked’ cocktails during a shore excursion from their Carnival Cruise.
And just this week, the family of an 80-year-old Canadian woman who suffers from Alzheimer’s went public with allegations that she was raped by another tourist at the Warwick Hotel on Paradise Island.
Covid-19 > ships could not go there so people back in poverty !!!
Not hard to figure out. Just look at the ones committing the crimes. Enough said

The U.S. State Dept. needs to put a travel advisory for the following cities, Chicago – 47 murders. Washington D.C. – 22 murders. NYC – 27 murders. Memphis Tn. – 27 murders.
