Crunch time for 'robbers'

Constable Louise France watches as young passengers tease a "train robber", one of two apprehended after the Cadbury Crunchie Train stopped at the Dunedin Railway Station yesterday.

Const France and Constable Heather Rei were waiting to take the robbers in hand when the train arrived with 350 passengers after an action-packed three-hour ride from Wingatui.

The adventure, part of the Dunedin Cadbury Chocolate Carnival, was cancelled on Monday because of the snow. The train will run again today, with 400 booked.
