A local business owner says there needs to be more action on retail crime. 

Police data shows more than 400 retail crimes were reported a day last year, with six staff a day complaining to police they'd been assaulted.

Sandringham Business Association Chair Jithin Chittibomma told Mike Hosking the Government has changed, but there's still the same people in the public service they dealt with under the last Government. 

He says they're still putting the data in front of ministers but they haven't seen any change on the ground yet.
