Digger apparently used to shift car

A Berwick contractor was surprised when he arrived at work on Thursday morning to find his digger was not where he had left it.

Senior Sergeant Liz Waru, of Dunedin, said it appeared a car had run off the road nearby on Terrace Range Rd, and the occupant had gone into the contractor's yard, taken the digger to pull the car back on to the road and then returned the digger to the yard.

''The owner of the digger noticed it was in a different place to where he left it.''

Snr Sgt Waru said the police were conducting a forensic examination of the digger and asked anyone with information about the incident to contact police on (03) 471-4800.
