Police deployed their own super hero after an unusual Dunedin callout.

The unnamed officer was dubbed "Spiderman" for his agility in climbing the roof of Logan Park High School on Wednesday, about 7pm, Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said.

While on the roof he chased three teenage offenders, who had been spotted acting suspiciously.

"They were actively avoiding police," Dinnissen said of the trio.

The uniformed crime fighter managed to track down the boys, aged 13, 14 and 15.

No items were taken and no damage was reported at the school, and it was unclear what the boys' motives were, he said.

Otago Scarfies wanting to rent the "most notorious flat on campus" were asked to submit their "best offer" as part of a controversial tender.

The rental process for the flat known as 'Debacle', which features a booze and bong-loving cartoon character on the front door, was slammed by Housing and Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford.

"It is disappointing that Cutlers Property Management treat the renting out of properties to students as a game," he said of the way the company had marketed the nine-bedroom flat in the heart of Dunedin's student quarter.
