Crime seen as a concern for Upper Harbour candidates
Crime has been a hot topic lately with a number of dairies being targeted, and Upper Harbour candidates have shared their views.
Labour's Jin An said her opinions on crime have been shaped by spending a "fair bit" of time in criminal courts.
She said crime was a result of a number of social failings including poverty, inequality and a broken down health service.
National Party candidate Paula Bennett, the current minister of police, said while crime has been decreasing since 2008, a "slight" increase has occurred in the past two years.
