The retail sector is still feeling angry and unsupported by police and the Government.
Back in August, Chris Hipkins told police to move faster on allocating money from a $6 million crime prevention fund for shops to install bollards and other security measures.

Dairy and Business Owners Group Chairman Sunny Kaushal told Kate Hawkesby it's quite disappointing.
“They have not been even been able to spend 2 percent of the fund. And the seven businesses that they’re talking about — five of them were given by us to police as a pilot programme, so no progress has been made.”
