On crime, the statement said, "US citizens are advised to be on guard against petty crime, pickpockets, and the theft of personal property on trains or buses. Major airports, train stations, popular restaurants, and tourist sites are often used by scam artists looking to prey on visitors.
"Beware of touts who solicit travelers with "come-on" offers of cheap transportation, hotels, guided tours, or even commonwealth Game tickets. Tickets for Game events can only be purchased online, via phone, or at designated retail outlets."
