There are several attacks on tourist and several theft on beaches, hotels, etc... it is believe that if the authorities sleeps on it, Seychelles may surpass South Africa as one of the most dangerous place in the world. However, the government doesn't want to ruin Seychelles reputation, so many theft or attack incidents are gone UN-recorded. The police does not have the proper training and Equipment for helping them in their job, so much conduce our authorities are to spend for the future of Seychelles. For such a small island, it's very much alarming. You might think it is safe to stay at a hotel that has security guard protection. But you are wrong, as it's the security guards themselves that gives out information to the thieves. Problem most people are not honest, things is fast Changing in Seychelles. This year several lonely local ladies where raped by a serial rapist, description had been given to the police and till today no action has been taken. Be careful at Tequila Boom Discotheque,someone might just add something in your drinks, so be very careful with your drink at this place. Actually Seychelles is no longer safe specially for tourism.

We invited some locals to come sit with a bunch of us and when we came out of the water her money was stolen out of her bag. This happens but at least that is the worst crime that will happen in the seychelles. We always go out clubbing at night and since we don't have transport we usually hitchhike to and from where ever we go, people are very helpful and its probably the only country where you can do something like that. Its a beautiful place with the most beautiful people!

Things ain't going too good for the Seychelles. I mean in terms of security ? This is a serious cause for concern. People say we're safe, but that's just word of mouth. Around the time the police manage to recover your back pack, I will agree we had a strong police force, but not anymore. Most cases remains pending or unsolvable.

The cops were pretty disintered on the first day till the CID got involved. Pretty frustrated about the same. Looks like the CID may get the stuff back and crack the case.

Tourist crime is down quite significantly in Seychelles. On Praslin a couple years ago we had 145 thefts reported a month. Now over the last 4 months it has dropped to 6,12,9,10 per month and the Police in conjunction with the hoteliers are working to reduce these numbers as well.
