A who entered the Camp St Night'n Day store in Queenstown last Wednesday got more than he bargained for.
Sergeant Blair Duffy, of Queenstown, said the man noticed a photograph of himself on the front door - wanted for shoplifting.
"He lost the plot, ripped the picture down and started giving staff a hard time."
Sgt Duffy said the man was arrested for disorderly behaviour, but would also be facing a shoplifting charge.
• On Thursday police were called to a Marine Pde property to investigate the theft of two Bonsai trees from a glasshouse.
• At 2am on Thursday police were called to a domestic incident involving visitors from Rotorua.
• A Queenstown male was arrested and charged with trespass and being unlawfully on a property after refusing to leave a party at a Yewlett Cres, Frankton, address at 6.15am on Thursday.
Sgt Duffy believed the man was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon after threatening people with a bottle.
• Police were also seeking 440 litres of diesel stolen from a fuel trailer at a "remote building site" on the Crown Range Rd.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Queenstown police.
