Dealing with retail crime could be about to get easier.
Incoming new Government measures are expected to address the possibility of citizen's arrests and make it clearer how people can protect their properties.
Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking a government advisory group has been working very hard on recommendations and next steps, which will be confirmed later today.
It comes as new data shows overall retail crime increased 12%, however ram raids halved last year, and violent crime dropped 2%.
