1. What the Data Shows About Summer Break-Ins
According to data from Greek authorities, break-ins targeting warehouses and commercial spaces increase by 20–30% during the summer months. The most affected areas are industrial zones, rural shops, and logistics facilities that operate with reduced staff due to summer holidays. The lack of physical presence and insufficient security measures further increase the risk.
2. Why Warehouses Are Easy Targets
Warehouses are often located in remote areas with limited lighting and minimal surveillance. Most break-ins occur at night or in the early hours of the morning when there’s no on-site staff. The absence of alarm systems, cameras, or on-site guards makes unauthorized access significantly easier — while the stored contents (e.g. goods, equipment) are of high value and low traceability.
3. How to Protect Your Facilities
Prevention is the most effective form of protection. We recommend:
-
Installing alarms and surveillance systems with real-time alerts
-
Connecting to a 24/7 Signal & Image Monitoring Center
-
Scheduling routine patrols by trained security personnel
-
Using motion-detecting security lighting
-
Logging entries and exits and implementing controlled access
