A vehicle theft in Teviot St, Dunedin, has police scratching their heads.
The owner of a white Nissan Navara utility looked up from his work place in Teviot St on Thursday morning to see someone driving off in his vehicle.
The man watched as the vehicle turned into Timaru St, and the owner immediately called police.
The vehicle was later found parked in Timaru St, in an off-street car park, where the owner collected it.
Sergeant Steve Aitken, of Dunedin, said there was no sign of forced entry, and the vehicle was locked and secure in its new car park.
Sgt Aitken said police were investigating and wanted to hear from anyone with knowledge of the incident.
• A South Dunedin man is in custody after a smash-and-grab raid at the Cableways Bistro and Bar earlier this week.
Sgt Aitken said a man was seen on CCTV breaking into the Dunedin establishment early on Thursday morning and taking pre-mixed shot glasses.
A 23-year-old appeared in the Dunedin District Court yesterday and was remanded in custody.
