A teenager sought in relation to three burglaries at the weekend was apprehended by a police dog team, receiving a bite in the process.
Acting Inspector Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, said the 18-year-old was seen at a Great King St property before jumping over a fence.
He was then reported to have committed a burglary in North Rd before police were called and he was tracked by dog units.
"And due to his aggressiveness he received a bite.''
He received medical treatment immediately afterwards.
