Polices own Data shows "Theft from Retail" has accelerated by 300% over 5 years. Its not a spike, its a trend before the pandemic. Woke policing has cultivated and emboldened crime in NZ and is directly caused by #bekindtociminals policy deployed by #NZlabour #nzpol pic.twitter.com/bhrt4s3q9L

Two interesting facts in these charts. The first is that retail thefts have gone from around 2,000 to 6,000 which is a tripling since 2018 (and was steady before that).
The second is that less than 8% of retail thefts have resulted in court action. This probably explains why retail crime is out of control – no consequences for the criminals involved.
