Below is a summary of incidents attended to by Hi-Tec Coastal Security in Kenton-on-Sea, Bushman’s River Mouth/Boesmansriviermond, Boknesstrand, and surrounding areas throughout December. This report categorises all crime incidents by suburb.
December wrapped up the year on a wonderfully positive note, with thankfully very low crime levels across our service areas. This was the result of a strong, visible crime-fighting presence, including extra patrols and guards stationed in busy holiday spots, as well as our public Hi-Tec Coastal SOS buttons that help keep our community safer. Our early-month arrests of key local crime kingpins played a major role in disrupting criminal activity and reducing further incidents. In total, we responded to 21 incidents across 7 areas and made 5 arrests.
As we close off 2025, we want to thank every client who trusted Hi-Tec Coastal to protect what matters most. It has truly been an honour to serve our community, and we look forward to keeping you safe in 2026 and beyond.
A heartfelt thank you goes to our dedicated Hi-Tec Coastal team, who sacrificed precious family time during the Festive Season to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors. Your commitment, professionalism and hard work do not go unnoticed.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to our valued partners — Gardmed, SAPS, CPF, Neighbourhood Watches and fellow emergency responders. Working together makes our community stronger and safer.
Once again, our partnership with Gardmed Private Ambulance Service proved its value. Hi-Tec Coastal clients continue to benefit from free emergency medical response when calls are dispatched through our Control Room — a service we’re proud to offer as part of our commitment to your safety.
