An Auckland community patrol is seeking more funding amidst ongoing crime and demand. \xa0

Epsom Community Patrol is putting out the plea, along with asking more locals to volunteer for patrols seven days a week. \xa0

Patrol Leader Rod Gabb says central Epsom is particularly rife with crime, which can't be reduced without a collective effort. \xa0

He told Mike Hosking that a report from the Onehunga station said that crime in Epsom was down 10% month on month, and while he wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s totally due to community patrols, he would say they\u2019re a factor.\xa0
