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 November. This report categorises all crime incidents by suburb.
November was a relatively quiet month for our team, with 25 incidents reported across 8 areas and no arrests made. While any crime is one too many, we’re encouraged to see lower activity across our service areas.
November’s statistics once again highlighted just how important our partnership with Gardmed Private Ambulance Service is. Every Hi-Tec Coastal client continues to benefit from free emergency medical response — provided the call is dispatched through us. Please remember: contacting Gardmed directly will result in charges.
Unfortunately, copper theft remains the most common type of crime we’re seeing, with pipes and fittings still being targeted. These thefts are often fast and discreet, but they don’t have to be successful. Perimeter beams and wireless alarm devices can detect movement early and give our Response team the crucial head start they need.
Did you know? Modern security systems can also help protect gate motors, batteries and exposed outdoor plumbing. Hi-Tec Coastal offers smart, reliable solutions designed specifically to secure these vulnerable areas and reduce the risk of costly damage.
HI-TEC COASTAL TIP: In an emergency, press your panic button for the fastest response. Stay safe — we’re always just a call or button press away!
