Barra leads the list with 172 records

It’s no surprise that the lack of security is keeping sportspeople away from Salvador’s waterfront. In the first half of this year, there were 705 robberies, according to the Civil Police itself. Barra leads the ranking, with 172 records. Next, Rio Vermelho, with 161 cases. Ondina and Pituba account for 95 and 64 records, respectively. Soon after we have Boca do Rio (54), Itapuã (50), Piatã (37), Amaralina (28), Costa Azul (11), Armação (12), Patamares (11) and, finally, Pituaçu (07).
