Earlier this week, police warned homeowners to be vigilant following several burglaries in some of the city’s affluent neighbourhoods.
Constable Kylie Batten, of Dunedin, said there had been several burglaries over the past few weeks in the suburbs of Roslyn, Maori Hill and Belleknowes.
"A large number of these items hold significant sentimental value to the victims of the burglaries," Const Batten said.
