The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 2 travel advisory ahead of spring break, warning Americans they may face safety risks while traveling to Turks and Caicos.
Most crime in the British Overseas Territory, located in the Atlantic Ocean nearly 600 miles southeast of Miami and just south of Bermuda, occurs on the Turk and Caicos' main island of Providenciales, and local police may have limited investigatory resources, according to the State Department.
