Street crime appears to have increased in Brussels and the surrounding area.
Street crime in the form of bag snatching and theft from locked cars has occurred for a long time in the same way as in other European capitals, but pickpockets at the airport, on the train from and to the airport, on the buses and in the subway seem to have increased. With this, we also want to encourage increased vigilance throughout the day.
Even in the other major cities in Belgium, such as Antwerp, Liège and Charleroi, one should be vigilant in large crowds, on trains and buses.
