Ginny Andersen: Police Minister says new measures will ensure repeat offenders are held accountable

Moves to help the justice system crack down on brazen criminal offending.

The ram-raid trend of filming a criminal act and posting it online will now become an aggravating factor in sentencing.

The Government is also creating a new offence for people commissioning children to offend, or rewarding them for it.

Police Minister Ginny Andersen says she knows young people are competing on stealing cars and posting them online.

"That is absolutely disgusting behaviour, and we want to send a strong message out that videoing criminal activity will not be tolerated."
