Key points:One recent victim of two break-ins is calling for tougher penalties"Very similar to this sort of thing," he said, explaining the types of knives he says were stolen from his Camping World business in the Darwin suburb of Berrimah overnight."So [I'm] very concerned that these are now out in the community."
