HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) 6/12/2023 Report Retail crime and ram raids NEW ZEALAND: Retail crime costs New Zealand retailers $1 billion each year and has a significant personal impact on those working in the industry. This year has seen a spike in ram raid style burglaries, as we tend to see at times with other crime types. This has affected small local retailers and larger chains. Police recognises the impact of retail crime on business owners and staff and takes reports of ram raids very seriously. Responses are normally District managed and include significant investigative action to identify and hold those responsible to account. Police has also been actively working alongside retailers and retail communities to give them prevention advice and support. A strengthened multi-agency response is also being trialled in parts of Auckland to address the underlying factors that lead to young people engaging in risky behaviour and offending. The government has also allocated $6 million from the Proceeds of Crime Fund for a crime prevention programme managed by Police which will include solutions such as installing bollards or other security for small retailers. This funding will enable Police to work closely with particularly vulnerable small retailers to identify effective and practical solutions based on the particular features of each business and location.
