The Government is clamping down on retail crime by giving businesses more powers to detain those stealing from them.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith and Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee said that currently no one is protected from civil or criminal liability if they arrest and detain a person stealing goods valued at less than $1,000 during the day.

The operation of the Crimes Act 1961 also hinders people from stopping offending as it occurs right in front of them.

With this, the Government has announced a series of reforms to give businesses additional tools to deal with those that are robbing them. | Subscribe: https://bit.ly/2JPg8oB
