Description

New crime figures are a mixed bag for retailers. 

Data released by the Police Minister shows a 61% drop in ram raids in the first nine months of the year, compared to the same period in 2023. 

But thefts at retail premises are up 12%, and there's been no change in breaking and entering or acts intended to cause injury. 

Dairy and Business Owner's Group Vice Chairperson, Ash Parmar told Ryan Bridge the ram-raid reductions are good news, as they brought a high human cost. 

He says it was too easy for too long, but a lot of the youths responsible are being picked up by Police more often now.
