Kathryn speaks to Auror CEO Phil Thomson, about how his platform is helping retailers report crime and protect their staff.
She'll also talk Retail NZ's Carolyn Young on some of the ways criminals are cheating the system with tech - and using social media to gain notoriety and pass on tips to others.
