New Zealand saw a 12% drop in weapon use and 6% fewer violent retail incidents from Jan–Oct 2025, driven by tech, police collaboration, and government action.
New Zealand retailers saw a 12% drop in weapon use and a 6% decline in violent incidents from January to October 2025, according to Auror, a global retail crime intelligence firm.
The data, collected from stores using its reporting software, shows progress compared to rising violence in Australia.
Auror attributes the improvement to early technology adoption, stronger retailer-police collaboration, and government focus.
Despite the gains, about one in five retail crimes involve violence or threats, and the top 10% of offenders commit over 60% of incidents.
The company aims to cut violent retail crime by 50% within five years, stressing the need for sustained policy, policing, and tech efforts.
