“Phyllis Bancroft Warren works for Telefutura TV. She says crime against Latinos is rising in the Lowcountry, partly because criminals know many Latinos won’t report it.

“Number one is the concern that they’ll be deported, and you also have those that are legal also concerned about being deported,” Warren said.

Criminals also know that many Latinos can’t or won’t get a bank account for their money. “They literally keep it under the mattress or in a cigar box on the shelf,” Warren said.”*
