Teenager charged with theft

Police have made an arrest in relation to the theft of posts and tyres from the Kaitangata Skate Park.

Sergeant Martin Bull, of Balclutha, said a 17-year-old male from Kaitangata was arrested on Thursday last week.

He was charged with theft and is due to appear in the Dunedin District Court today.

It was reported last week there had been an increase in ``vigilante-style'' action in Kaitangata which the police wanted to end.

Constable Tanya Grant, of Balclutha, said inquiries into the burglary of the Kaitangata Community Swimming Pool last week were continuing.

The investigation into a vehicle being set on fire on Salcombe
St in Kaitangata was also ongoing.

Const Grant said police would appreciate any information from the public which may assist them in their inquiries.
