Dunedin Crime Files

The Team Reporter from Dunedin News

More than 1000 drivers were stopped at checkpoints across Dunedin over the weekend, however, police were disappointed some drivers are not getting the message.

''If you are planning on having a drink over the Christmas/summer period, arrange your lift home prior or even pay it forward and be the sober driver,'' acting Inspector Craig Dinnissen said.

Unfortunately, a dozen drivers failed to heed that message and were processed for drink driving.

That included one motorist who recorded more than 1100mcg on Friday evening.

On Sunday three youths were seen walking from a stolen Mazda Premacy, which was taken from a St Kilda address, the third vehicle stolen from the wider South Dunedin area in just seven days.

Early on Tuesday morning, a North East Valley resident spotted two male Maori, aged in their twenties, removing plates from a 1992 Toyota Camry.

That vehicle had crashed into a parked car and was believed to have been stolen.
