Safety near Troncones

Even though i love Troncones; right now it is not safe at all. A friend of mine had his car stolen and belogings stolen just a few weeks ago; her girlfriend was groped in a bad way, this on the main highway between saladita and troncones. In total it was 5 cars stolen that day. You can check at the police department to confirm. Also just a few days ago a family was attacked and one of them died, there are 2 more in the hospital. You can verify this by googlin asalto ixtapa o muere turista ixtapa. (It did not allow me to paste the link)

I hope it gets better because troncones is my favorite beach but right now it is extremely dangerous. Not the town as such but getting there and leaving because there is only one way in and out and the Narcos know this.

I recommend you stay in playa larga near the airport, zihuatanejo or ixtapa inside a gated community until this changes.
