A Dunedin teenager allegedly spat in the face of a police officer after being caught red-handed breaking into a car.
A trio of teens, two aged 17 and one aged 14, attracted police attention after a car was interfered with in Selwyn St, North East Valley on Monday, Sergeant Matt Lee said.
Police were called to the incident at 10.30am. On arrival they watched as three teenagers rummaged through the Toyota Aqua after they smashed a window.
All three teens were arrested and charged with unlawful interference with a motor vehicle. The spitting teen was also charged with assault.
They will appear in the Dunedin Youth Court this week. — Allied Media
