The Warehouse is beefing up security measures around its stores to combat a rise in ramraids. The Warehouse Group is adding bollards, smoke cannons, extra cameras and security in response to a rise in ramraids on retail stores. “This year has seen a significant increase in the number of retail store ramraids, particularly in Auckland, and our business has been no exception,” group chairperson Joan Withers told the company’s annual meeting in Auckland on Friday. The retail group includes 88 The Warehouse stores, 68 Noel Leeming stores, 68 Warehouse Stationery stores and 24 Torpedo7 stores. All the company’s brands have had stores impacted by retail crime over the last financial year, a spokesperson said.
