Man who eluded police still sought

Police are still looking for a man who fled from them on Sunday afternoon after a car that was stolen from Dunedin was found at a Palmerston address.

Police officers and dogs from Dunedin and Oamaru were initially called in to look for the man on Sunday.

Senior Constable Stefan Witehira, of Palmerston, said when the man initially fled from police he threw two stolen cellphones into a drain. They had since been recovered.

The man was described as 190cm tall, European and skinny, and was last seen wearing dark-coloured trousers and a dark T-shirt.
