Is there a lot of crime in Tauranga?

"Tauranga, like any city, does experience crime, but it is generally considered to be a safe place to live. The crime rate is relatively low compared to other cities in New Zealand. The most common types of crime are property-related, such as theft and burglary. Violent crime does occur, but it is less common. The local police force is active and responsive, and there are ongoing efforts to reduce crime and improve safety. However, as with any location, it is always important for residents and visitors to remain vigilant and take precautions to protect themselves and their property," remarked another expat who made the move to Tauranga, New Zealand.
