Emergency services responded today to reports of a seal blocking a road on the outskirts of Dunedin.
A police spokesman said Fire and Emergency New Zealand crews requested assistance from police after they were called to reports of a seal blocking Brighton Rd, Ocean View, about 4.30pm.
Shortly before 5pm it was reported that the seal had been moved on with encouragement from FENZ crew at the site. The seal is reported to be on the beach.
It's not clear whether the seal had managed to secure the fish and chips that it had presumably come in search of, the spokesman said.
