New retail crime and citizen's arrest reforms unveiled
Update: 2025-02-26
Description
The Government has announced a series of reforms to give businesses additional tools to deal with those that are robbing them. These include:
- Amending the Crimes Act so that citizens can intervene to stop any Crimes Act offence at any time of the day.
- Requiring that a person making an arrest contact police and follow police instructions.
- Clarifying that restraints can be used, when reasonable, when making an arrest.
- Changing the defence of property provisions to the Crimes Act so it is clear that reasonable force may be used.
