Police are warning Corstorphine residents to remain vigilant after a man has been acting suspiciously in the Dunedin suburb.
Senior Sergeant Liz Waru, of Dunedin, said a man had been knocking on doors and "peering in windows'' of Corstorphine homes.
If someone was home, the man gave an excuse, such as looking for a lost dog or a friend.
"It seems quite legitimate, but we suspect his motives aren't so pure,'' Sen Sgt Waru said.
The man was known to police.
If the man was found on a property and gave a general excuse, the resident should call police.
"We think he is up to no good and we want people to remain vigilant.''
