Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police yesterday arrested a 46-year-old man wanted for numerous shoplifting, burglaries and petrol drive-offs around the region.
On May 6, the man allegedly stole an e-scooter that was locked up outside the University of Otago Business School in Union St in Dunedin.

He is also accused of stealing an e-bike worth $5899 from Crawford St, Dunedin and another drive-off with $162 worth of petrol from a station in Hillside Rd.
In February he allegedly shoplifted $1000 worth of products from an electronics store in Cromwell and stole four items left outside a restaurant in Frankton worth $748.
He would appear in Queenstown District Court charged with numerous charges relating to shoplifting, petrol drive offs, theft and burglary.
