Disorder - including several couch fires - in North Dunedin last night resulted in five people being arrested.
A Fire Service spokesman said firefighters from Willowbank Station were called to four couch fires between 9.30pm last night and 2.51am today.
The firefighters were called at 9.30pm last night to extinguish a couch fire and a tree in George St.
Firefighters were called to extinguish another couch on fire in front of a house in Castle St at 10.56pm last night.
Shortly after midnight, they were called to extinguish a couch fire burning in the middle of Leith St, and another couch fire was extinguished in Howe St just before 3am.
Police dogs were also called to a George St business in North Dunedin, after three men unlawfully entered an office area about 4am today and stole a bottle of wine.
Senior Sergeant Darryl Lennane, of Dunedin, said police had been busy in North Dunedin overnight.
"We attended a number of calls relating to the disorder in the North Dunedin area.''
Five people were arrested in relation to the calls and four people were given pre-charge warnings.
The other man refused to give his name to police and remained in custody today. He would appear in Dunedin District Court.
