The government is more than doubling its support for businesses targeted by ram raids and aggravated robberies.
It's boosting the retail crime prevention fund by 9 million dollars, bringing the total investment to 15 million dollars.
That's to be spent on things like fog cannons, bollards and security systems for victims of retail crime.
Police Minister Ginny Anderson said so far 501 stores have had quotes approved for installations.
She told Katie Scotcher the government was also funding programmes to hold young people accountable for the crimes they commit and stop them reoffending.
