Watch out for

• Opportunistic housebreakings and perimeter intrusions can occur, making secure accommodation with perimeter alarms and private security response essential.

• Roads have minimal street lighting and no pedestrian footpaths, making walking after dark unsafe due to vehicular visibility and vulnerability to opportunistic theft.
