A Pukekohe business has spent thousands on their own crime-prevention measures, after being robbed twice in three weeks.

Just five stores have seen the installation of security, like fog cannons and bollards, since the Retail Crime Prevention Scheme launched in May.

Another five are waiting to be done, and 40 more have been assessed.

Liquor store and dairy owner Ravi Singh told Mike Hosking increasing crime has led him to installing steel bars and automatic gates on his premises.

“For those things to protect my family and my staff I have given up the best of $11,000 just to secure my place.”
