There's encouraging numbers on retail crime in New Zealand, according to new reports.
Data from retail crime intelligence company Auror shows year on year for the 10 months to October, weapon use fell 12 percent and violent events dropped 6 percent.
In Australia, the same kinds of incidents are trending upwards.
Auror spokesperson Nick McDonnell says there's a reason such crime is dropping here.
"Retailers have really led the way in leaning into it, and then the police on the other side of the system have also leaned into this earlier than other markets - and are really collaborating together through the platform."
