Police crime news
A Dunedin man is to appear in court after allegedly stealing fuel from a farmer's fuel tank.
The incident unfolded at Momona, near the city's airport on Friday afternoon, Acting inspector Craig Dinnissen said.
The farmer noticed a ute on his property, and then later confronted the man who was filling the vehicle's fuel tank.
The man had also taken some of the farmer's tools.
The 26-year-old man was charged with burglary.
Police were also investigating the theft of plumber's tools from a vehicle parked on Willis St.
The passenger side window was smashed to gain access, Dinnissen said.
It was unclear whether the theft was opportunistic or the work of mobile offenders.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
