Drape escape from Dunedin motel

A person eluded capture at a South Dunedin motel yesterday by using what appeared to be curtains tied together to jump out of a two-storey window.

A witness said he saw what appeared to be knotted curtains hanging out of a window at 555 Motel Dunedin, Andersons Bay Rd.

Polcie were also seen inspecting and removing clothing from a silver vehicle parked in the motel’s carpark.

A police spokesman confirmed they were making inquires at an address in Andersons Bay Rd about noon yesterday when "one person fled the address".
