Behind the Raids: Children at the wheel
We’ve seen the headlines, and we’ve heard the statistics. Report after report, business after business. Everyone has an opinion and a view, but this isn’t about them. This is about the kids behind the wheel. Because even though we’ve seen them on CCTV, we still haven’t heard from them.
This time we do.
Wilhelmina Shrimpton, host of The Core, sits down with two young ram raiders to get an insight into what drives them to crime. One was 14 and the other just 12 years old when they were targeting dairies, liquor stores and vape shops across Auckland. They’re open and honest about their upbringing, and how after months of ram raids, they want to turn their lives around.
We also show those interviews to two businesses targeted multiple times by thefts, and their reaction will surprise you.

Just kids, they need love & investment.
An inspiration story, an answer for the youth!
Why had the system fail them, without love family and seeing the best in these young people caring not discarding them, they are important thank goodness for the right mentor youth help and lawyers who really care. Makes you think who really cares about family who has the heart for them to see them be successful who encouraging them. Why did they not get this.
The issue is probably rising cost of living causing more families to struggle to make ends meet, pacific island parents will never earn a lot to buy their kids the luxuries non Pacific Islanders kids get..but the government keeps blaming the kids instead of looking back at their system they won’t change
Dragged up pieces of shit, no excuses for it, either lock them up or store owners take them down.. no respect for peoples properties then fk them, illiterate garbage they are
