"It's been several years now, where crime has been on the uptick, particularly with drug cartels in Mexico," Perman told Carley Shimkus.
"Years ago, they kind of respected areas. They didn't operate in public tourist areas, at least in front, and they didn't conduct violence there because frankly, that's bad business for them as well."
