– Making sure CCTV systems are installed and fully operational, with cameras clearly visible and recording images of good quality.<\/p>\n
– Regularly check existing CCTV systems to ensure they are working and footage can be easily accessed.<\/p>\n
– Improve lighting around entrances, carparks and storage areas.<\/p>\n
– Secure alcohol, tills and valuable equipment, and avoid leaving cash on site overnight.<\/p>\n
– Ensure doors, windows and storage areas are well secured.<\/p>\n
Supervisor of the Hawke\u2019s Bay Tactical Crime Unit, Detective Sergeant Andrew Boyd, said if a burglary occurs, it should be reported immediately, and the scene should be left untouched or disturbed. <\/p>\n
Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) can then preserve forensic evidence. <\/p>\n
\u201cClubs play a vital role in our communities, and we\u2019re working closely with them to prevent further offending,\u201d Boyd said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTimely reporting and simple security measures can make a real difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police asked the public and club members to report any suspicious activity, particularly around clubs after hours.<\/p>\n
This includes suspicious behaviour, vehicles seen at unusual times near club premises. <\/p>\n
Police advised victims to get vehicle descriptions or registration numbers, where safe to do so.<\/p>\n
Boyd said anyone with information about these burglaries, or any suspicious activity, can contact police via 105, either by phone or online.<\/p>\n
Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"– Making sure CCTV systems are installed and fully operational, with cameras clearly visible and recording images of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":360463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2840,74,95,1561,47067,18836,46326,1259,1976,78,111,43,139,69,1118,675,75859,39541,2022,213,1458,17902,3055,26951],"class_list":["post-360462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-across","tag-after","tag-and","tag-bay","tag-burglaries","tag-club","tag-clubs","tag-community","tag-hawkes","tag-in","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-of","tag-police","tag-premises","tag-spate","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-targeted","tag-targeting","tag-urging","tag-vigilant"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/360463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
