A third plant theft in the St Clair area has been reported to Dunedin police.
The Otago Daily Times was contacted by a resident whose 1.5m tall yucca and its terracotta pot were stolen from outside her house on Sunday night.
A family member was home at the time and she believed it would have taken at least two people to move the plant.
Thieves would have had to travel up a driveway as it was not visible from the street, she said.
Alan and Robyn Thomson had 14 of their plants stolen on Saturday night and said neighbours had also had two plants stolen from pots outside their house during Easter.
