Alleged threat with knife
A Dunedin man allegedly waving a knife around was arrested after it was found he was the same person believed to have stolen beer from supermarkets around the city. Police were originally called to a Russell St, Dunedin, address about noon on Saturday after the 25-year-old man was allegedly threatening people at the property with a knife.

He was charged with two counts of shoplifting and will appear in the Dunedin District Court at a later date. • At 8.35pm on Saturday, police stopped and breath-tested a 38-year-old man driving along Gladstone Rd in North Dunedin.

His licence was suspended for 28 days and he will appear in the Dunedin District Court at a later date. • At 11am on Sunday, a 29-year-old man allegedly stole some protein powder and Berocca from Woolworths Dunedin Central. He then went to Farmers where he allegedly took an air fryer and smashed some plates. He was arrested, charged with shoplifting and bailed to appear in the Dunedin District Court tomorrow. • At 6.50pm on Sunday, a 38-year-old man walked around Woolworths Dunedin Central eating a pie he took from a shelf while attempting to steal a bottle of wine.

Frustration reveals driving issues
Frustration over an empty petrol tank has revealed one man's questionable activities. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers were called to Mornington Rd at 10.45pm on Saturday after reports of a man kicking a Toyota Corolla. ''It turns out the 39-year-old male was the owner of the vehicle. "It had run out of petrol, so he was frustrated and taking his frustration out on the vehicle.'' The driver failed an impairment test and police were waiting for the results of his blood sample, Snr Sgt Bond said. He was also spoken to about two petrol drive-offs. ''The vehicle also didn't have a warrant of fitness since 2020 and he had his 10-year-old daughter in the car at the time too,'' Snr Sgt Bond said.
