Concerns the Government hasn't addressed the real issue around ram raids.
It's announced a $4 million fund to support local councils in Auckland, Hamilton and Bay of Plenty and a $4,000 fog cannon subsidy scheme.
Waikato retailer Ash Parmar told Kate Hawkesby there have been 66 prosecutions and 10 youth referrals, but some 200 young people have been arrested.
He says that means there are 129 kids who aren't going to adult court or youth court and it proves young kids are being used to do these types of attacks.
