For immediate Release Ministry of Foreign Affairs BAHAMIANS ADVISED ON ROBBERIES 31st July 2013 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to advise all Bahamians traveling to Miami and the immediate counties including Orlando to be careful about their possessions while in motor vehicles and in transit. 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. Do not come out of cars if you are bumped at traffic lights. Placing passports and other important documents in glove compartments and the trunks of your cars are strongly discouraged. If you do lose your documents you should contact the Bahamas consulate in Miami at #25 SE 2nd Avenue - suite 600; the telephone number is (305)-455-1170 If for some reason, the Bahamian traveler has to return his or her rented vehicle later than contracted, please notify the rental car agency ahead of time, otherwise under US laws you may be liable of grand theft auto.
