National has labelled the Police Minister\'s attempts at reassurance over the country\'s increasing crime as almost sounding "desperate".

\\n

Stuart Nash has painted a brighter picture on the issue, saying since Operation Cobalt, 28-thousand charges have been made - including against more than seven-thousand gang members and associates.

\\n

But National\'s spokesperson Mark Mitchell has hit back over the statements made by Nash on Newstalk ZB.

\\n

He told Mike Hosking it\'s likely traffic infringement notices are captured in the data and the statistics aren\'t stacking up.
