Police are urging motorists to lock their cars, park out of sight and remove valuables from vehicles after a spate of car break-ins and thefts.
Acting Senior Sergeant Christian Stainton, Whangārei area prevention manager, said cars with valuable items in view have particularly been targeted.
The Kamo, Tikipunga and Morningside areas are hotspots, he said.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
