Camera-starer turns himself in

A man seen staring into a Queenstown CCTV camera for almost a full minute before it was vandalised has contacted police.

The 25-year-old was arrested at the resort's police station yesterday afternoon. He has been charged with wilful damage.

''He actually came into the station himself,'' Sergeant Tracy Haggart said.

''I think it was as a result of seeing himself in the papers. He's admitted the offence.''

A still image of a man glaring at the Shotover St digital camera early on Sunday featured on the front page of yesterday's Otago Daily Times.

The man is due to appear in Queenstown District Court on Monday.
