Act says it's time the Government got serious with ram-raiders.

Police Minister Chris Hipkins this morning unveiled a plan to refer any child under 14 caught ram-raiding to a cross-agency board, to prevent repeat offending.

But Act Leader David Seymour says anyone aged 11-to-14 caught raiding should be forced to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet, so police know where they are at all times.

He says it's tragic that New Zealand is in this state of affairs - and this is the consequence of having no consequences for crime.
