Hamilton's Mayor is looking for answers on how to fix her city's crime wave
26 September 2022
Two brazen smash and grabs happened within hours of each other yesterday -- one at Michael Hill jewellers in The Base shopping centre, and the other at a complex on Hukanui Road.
Paula Southgate has asked for greater Police resourcing there.
She says the numbers have stayed static despite their growing population and that's not good enough.
Southgate says she met with Police Minister Chris Hipkins a couple of weeks ago, where she asked how much of the Government's anti-crime funding will go to Hamilton.
She says she still hasn't received a response.
