Frustration continues after another ram raid in Auckland

From Checkpoint, 5:48 pm on 3 August 2022

Another ram raid - this time five youths, the youngest just 12, smashing into a storefront in Auckland overnight.

A car ploughed into the Royal Oak Liquor Centre - the police caught three young people at the scene and two nearby.

Back in May, then-Police Minister Poto Williams announced a $6 million crime prevention fund to help small businesses hit by ram raiders.

But - as Mohammad Alafeshat reports - many retailers haven't heard a thing and only a handful so far in Auckland have had any funding at all to beef up their security.
