Alcohol, money stolen from house

Alcohol and money were stolen after thieves entered an unlocked house in Berwick St, Kaikorai Valley, police say.

Senior Sergeant Liz Waru, of Dunedin, said someone entered the home through an unlocked back door and stole three bottles of alcohol, and cash, sometime between Monday and Wednesday.

Snr Sgt Waru reiterated to people that securing their property and locking doors was essential.

Three car wheels and tyres were stolen from a Toyota Altezza found on blocks in York Pl yesterday.

Snr Sgt Waru said the car was parked on the street outside a property and the wheels were stolen between 10pm Wednesday and 8am yesterday.

Police would like to hear from anyone with information about the incident.

Police were looking for the owners of six pounamu necklaces handed into the central station.

Otago Coastal iwi liaison officer Senior Constable Toni Wall, of Dunedin, said she had the jewellery for a number of years and could not gift them to the people that found them as they were "tapu".

"Some of these are worth a couple of hundred dollars," Sgt Wall said.

"If we don't find anyone [that owns them], we'll have to gift them to iwi."

Dunedin police, (03) 471-4800, Crimestoppers, 0800-555-111.
