Retailers are hopeful, but wary, of the government's latest move to tackle retail crime.

It's announced a Ministerial Advisory Group for the victims of the continuing problem.

The group will speak with victims, workers and business owners over the next two years - before putting forward proposals to address offending.

Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young told Ryan Bridge it's a positive move - but the solutions are pretty clear.

Young says that includes more visible police presence on the streets and quick action to apprehend offenders.

She says there is worry among retailers this will become a "talk-fest."
