Police solved only five of the 53 aggravated robberies of South Auckland shops in the six months before liquor store owner Navtej Singh was fatally shot in a hold-up, according to figures held by Chester Borrows.
That means 90% of aggravated robberies in that area have gone unpunished. Unless it is just a small pool of people offending repeatedly, or further arrests are in progress. Either way, the figures still are not good. Labour pledged (on their pledge cards) extra police last election. So where are they, and what has been the net rate of adding officers to the beat?
