New retail crime and citizen's arrest reforms unveiled
The Government has announced a series of reforms to give businesses additional tools to deal with those that are robbing them. These include:
Amending the Crimes Act so that citizens can intervene to stop any Crimes Act offence at any time of the day.
Requiring that a person making an arrest contact police and follow police instructions.
Clarifying that restraints can be used, when reasonable, when making an arrest.
Changing the defence of property provisions to the Crimes Act so it is clear that reasonable force may be used.
