I was talking to my bf yesterday and he told me that there has been like four people killed in Puerto Plata over the past few days. I spoke to my cousin about it and she confirmed that they were murdered because of drugs or whatever. She said it was all over the news and the killings were carried out in a horrendous way!
I am really excited about moving here in a few months, but this is worrying me now. How worried should I be about all of these murders? Everytime I have been there, I have never seen any trouble, except when me and my bf went to get a snack from a petrol station in PP and as we drove up my bf said it seemed like there was going to be trouble there so he quickly drove away. He said there were gangs around there.
Just want some opinions on the general safety of the area. I plan to live in Sosua, but I have heard about crimes/murders there too.
