An Auckland councillor says young ram raiders need good role models, to help change their behaviour
An Auckland councillor says young ram raiders need good role models, to help change their behaviour
28 April 2022
There's been a spate of ram raids in Bay of Plenty and Auckland recently...a couple of days ago 16 young people in stolen cars robbed Ormiston Town Centre.
Councillor Alf Filipaina worked as a police officer in South Auckland for decades.
He says there were ram raids when he was in the force -- but what's changed is the age of the offenders.
Filipaina says there's only going to be a responsibility when people are only 11 and doing that, and it has to start at the home.
