A man accused of stealing a luxury vehicle claimed he did not know how the car ended up on his property.
Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said police visited a Mornington property about noon on Monday after receiving reports the occupants were attempting to sell a stolen vehicle.
When confronted by police about the stolen Audi S5, the occupants claimed "not to know anything about the vehicle or how it got there", he said.
The car had been taken from Caversham on October 30.
A 42-year-old male was arrested and charged with unlawfully taking the vehicle, Sgt Lee said.
