Unsafe AreaOlder report
Harare downtown CBD and surrounding high density suburbs: high crime area especially after dark. Purse-snatching teams operate in pairs - one creates a distraction while the other grabs the bag. Phone theft by groups who surround and overwhelm victims. Do not display phones or cash in public. Avoid walking alone in the CBD after 7pm.
