In an interview on ABC Gold Coast Mornings with Sarah Cumming, Gina Field, founder of Nepean Regional Security, addressed the growing issue of Christmas light theft on the Gold Coast. During the festive season, thieves have increasingly targeted elaborate light displays, taking advantage of their accessibility and the quiet night time hours.
Gina emphasised the importance of implementing preventative measures, such as installing motion-activated lighting, security cameras, and using tamper-resistant fixtures to secure displays.
She also highlighted the role of community vigilance and encouraged neighbourhoods to report any suspicious behaviour. The discussion underscored the need to balance celebrating the season with protecting investments in holiday decorations.
