On the subject of drug crime,
Crime linked to drug dealing has been as far afield as Cancun for some time now, the below news link, just one example of many, was an incident in Puerto Morelos in 2021.
I am using this as an example because we stayed at this property a few months after this happened, and the hotel had a very low occupancy, which in one respect was good, it was mostly Americans scared away by this incident, judging by the research we carried out after.
While we were sat on the beach, there were regular army patrols of around 10 carrying side arms and machine guns,
Also an army helicopter flew along the coastline very low a couple of times a day!
We have visited Mexico and Cancun several times now, and never felt in danger, we will return one year after visiting other parts of the world first.
