The retail sector is pointing to Government justice policies as a reason for increasing crime.
Police figures suggest only 2.3 percent of reported retail crime results in arrests.
The number of retail offences reported to police last year was over 125,000, up from 61,000 in 2021, although that year saw lengthy Covid-19 lockdowns in several regions.
Sandringham Business Association Chair Jithin Chittibomma told Kate Hawkesby the Government's approach leaves a lot to be desired.
