Crime

CRIME: Deteriorating economic conditions in the country, aggravated by the return from South Africa of large numbers of unemployed miners, have caused an increase in armed robberies, break-ins and car-jackings. This occurs primarily in Maseru, but it can occur elsewhere as well. Victims have included foreign diplomats and members of foreign aid missions. Traveling alone or at night is particularly dangerous.

The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to local police and to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. U.S. citizens may refer to the Department of State's pamphlets, A Safe Trip Abroad and Tips for Travelers to Sub-Saharan Africa, for ways to promote a more trouble-free journey. Both are available by mail from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, via the Internet at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su-docs, or via the Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at http://travel.state.gov.
