One time that I can recall (and TWO YEARS AGO)people were robbed by guys posing as police near Tipitapa. I drive this road once a week and often late at night. I have never even seen any issues. As with any place that attracts tourists there are criminals. The fact is that violent crime is very low here in Nicaragua. It is the safest country in Central America and second only to Canada in this hemisphere. I have lived in Nicaragua for 5 years and I can say that these reports are old and a bit exaggerated.
