Balclutha police are amazed at the behaviour of a 41-year-old
Balclutha man who had two cars impounded in less than a week.
The man, whose driver's licence was suspended, was called "a
drongo" by police after he drove a friend to the police
station last Wednesday.
The man was recognised and arrested on driving offences.
The car was impounded and the man was bailed to appear in the
Balclutha District Court on February 23.
At 10.10pm on Friday, the same man was stopped on Cromer St,
Balclutha, where he was arrested for driving while suspended,
and the car was impounded.
• A Balclutha woman's car keys were removed from her car
while she shopped on Saturday afternoon.
The car was parked on Clyde St between 1pm and 2pm.
Sergeant Martin Bull, of Balclutha, said police would like to
hear from anyone who had seen a set of Holden keys on a Jim
Beam keyring.
• Police are investigating the theft of money from
Independent Tyre Specialists in Balclutha on Saturday.
Sgt Bull said someone had gone into the building and taken
money from the till.
• A 17-year-old Milton youth arrested for disorderly
behaviour and resisting arrest spent a night in the Balclutha
police cells on Sunday.
Sgt Bull said the youth was upset at not being allowed in to
the Hotel South Otago, and resisted when police tried to
arrest him for disorderly behaviour.
He is due to appear in court on February 23.
• A 72-year-old Milton man who was stopped for drink-driving
in Milton on Sunday evening returned a reading of 706mcg and
