Putting the brakes on a recent spate of ram raids is proving tough with some of those involved as young as 11.
The latest saw a gang of young thieves swoop on an Auckland electronics store after ram raiding their way into the shopping centre with stolen vehicles - with CCTV showing them driving right through the mall.
In a separate incident several young people under the age of 15 were arrested over a smash and grab on Monday. Manager of Glen Innes Family Centre Chris Makoare works with young people after they are referred by schools.
