Labour says efforts to crack down on ram raids are working.

The party's police spokesperson is hitting back at claims by National Leader Chris Luxon that there are two ram raids a day.

Ginny Andersen told Tim Dower data released by Police shows a 70 percent reduction in ram raids from their peak of 116 a month in August last year.

“While the numbers are a bit noisy, they have been in decline generally since that point where they peaked. So they reached 35, which is the lowest we’ve had over a two-year period.”
