When Dunedin police pulled over a tailgating car they discovered it had been stolen the day before — and a suspended driver was behind the wheel.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers were called to reports of a driver tailgating another vehicle, and swerving while attempting to overtake, on State Highway 1 at East Taieri on Saturday afternoon.
When officers pulled over the 34-year-old driver they found he had a warrant out for his arrest, was a suspended driver and had stolen the vehicle he was driving from Clinton on Friday, Snr Sgt Bond said.
The man was arrested and would appear in court today.
