Are you going to Gran Canaria this winter? Then you need to be on your guard. Pickpockets are rampant on the tourist island – and the problem is only increasing, writes Norwegian ABC News.

“Now it's worse than ever,” says María Lezcano, president of the island's professional guides.

The increase began three years ago, according to Lezcano, but last month ”reached a level never before experienced,” according to ABC News. Now thefts are reported every day, according to Lezcano. Mallorca has also reported problems with the number of thefts increasing.
