Mark Mitchell: National Police spokesperson says too many people are suffering from ram-raids - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The National Party says their new policy to deal with youth crime is a result of listening to the victims.

It's promising to set up Young Offender Military Academies for 15 to 17-year-olds, if it's elected next year.

The party also wants to put electric monitoring devices on children as young as 10-years-old.

Police spokesperson, Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking one shop owner he's spoken to has resorted to building his own bollards and sleeping inside his store, to deter ram-raiders.

He says too many people are suffering from ram-raids, and it's coming at a huge human cost.
