Chris Hipkins admits he's very concerned about the latest spike in crime.
The Police Minister has revealed there's been 129 ramraids since May, with 84 taking place in Auckland.
So far, 38 of the offenders have been identified or arrested and the median age of those caught is just 15-years-old.
Hipkins told Mike Hosking it's a serious problem, which Police are taking seriously.
