Northland Summer Crime Prevention – Essential Tips for Homes and Businesses to Safeguard Property
The summer season in Northland is a time to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the summer sun. But while you’re out at the beach, your empty home or business could become an easy target for opportunistic criminals. Whether you’re heading away to the bach or closing up shop over Christmas break, taking the right security measures can help protect your property and give you peace of mind.
Here are our essential safety tips to keep your Northland home or business secure during the holidays.
Invest in a Reliable Security System
Gone are the days when a bolt and chain were enough. Modern security demands smarter solutions, especially during the holiday period when crime rates often spike. Equip your property with a high-quality security system that includes:
- Surveillance cameras with remote viewing options.
- Motion detectors to catch movement around your premises.
- Burglar alarms to deter intruders and alert authorities.
- Smart technology to send updates and alerts directly to your phone.

Mobile Patrols: Eyes on Your Property
For businesses and homes that will be vacant during the summer holidays, professional mobile security patrols offer unparalleled peace of mind. Northern Districts Security’s mobile teams are trained to respond quickly to suspicious activity, potential break-ins, or vandalism. They conduct thorough property inspections, checking doors, windows, and access points to ensure everything is secure.
Having a visible security presence is one of the most effective deterrents against crime. Our mobile patrols provide regular, systematic checks that help protect your investment and reduce the risk of incidents. Discover Northern Districts Security’s mobile patrol services here.
Create the Illusion of Occupancy
Lived-in properties are a less attractive target for opportunistic thieves or vandals – so consider how your home or business will be perceived by passersby. Timed lighting systems are a simple but effective way to make your home or business look lived-in. Program lights to switch on and off at different times in the evening to mimic regular activity. For businesses, consider timers for exterior signage or office lights to maintain the appearance of operation.
If you have neighbours or friends in the area, ask them to help. A quick visit to your property every few days can keep it looking occupied. They can also collect mail or packages and notify you of anything unusual.
It also pays to be careful with your posting on social media – while it’s tempting to post your holiday snaps or announce any plans online, oversharing can be risky. Criminals can scour social media for clues about vacant homes, so wait until you’re back to share those beach photos.
