Online crime system blitz on retail theft
A new cloud-based crime reporting system could prevent up to $2 million of retail thefts every day.
Police have teamed up with Auckland-based company Auror who developed software that streamlines crime reporting processes.
The software will be rolled out nationally after successful trials in Counties Manukau and Canterbury.
The software enables retailers to complete incident reports and provide relevant information to police about thefts including shoplifting and petrol drive-offs, and other incidents.
The information can be shared between retailers to prevent further offending.
A Police National Headquarters spokeswoman said all information shared through the Auror portal was automatically forwarded to the police crime reporting line.
