The man was seen by a Noel Leeming employee leaving the Crawford St. store with a handful of Samsung display phones he had not paid for.
The 39-year-old man allegedly took three phones, all Samsung branded, worth a combined $5294, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin said.
As he left the store, an employee followed him and watched as he boarded a bus.
Police tracked the bus down and arrested the man while he was on-board.
He was charged with shoplifting over $1000 and would appear in Dunedin District Court at a later date.
