BAHAMAS-TRAVEL-Bahamas government issues advisory to citizens travelling to United States

NASSAU, Bahamas, CMC – The Bahamas government has warned nationals travelling to the United States to be careful about their possession as they embark upon shopping expeditions in the North American country. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said this “is the traditional season for Bahamians to shop before back to school and while shopping may not be paying particular attention to their documents and possessions. “We are asking them to take particular care because of reports of opportunistic theft of Bahamian passports and travel documents through break-ins in cars in the parking lots of shopping malls. We are advising all Bahamians traveling in the Miami area to be aware of their surroundings. Be sure that you are not followed.”
