A police spokeswoman said officers were called about 1.35pm yesterday to BP 2go On Princes after reports that two people were unconscious in a vehicle.
When officers arrived, they checked on the two people, who were found not to be unresponsive, but simply asleep.
Police drove the pair home, the spokeswoman said.
A witness said the car the two were in was parked in front of a pump.
The latest incident comes a few days after three people — two adults and a 17-year-old teenager — were found unconscious in a car while parked outside a South Dunedin fast-food restaurant.
All three were intoxicated and police found drug paraphernalia inside the car, he said.
