A craving for a midnight snack left a Dunedin man cooked after he was caught breaching bail while attempting to pilfer a pie.

Acting Senior Sergeant Simon Reay, of Dunedin, said police responded to Night ‘n Day, in the Octagon, at 11.50pm on Saturday.

A 21-year-old man was stopped by security at the convenience store for allegedly "attempting to leave with a pie without paying," Snr Sgt Reay.

The man disclosed to security that he had bail conditions and was subsequently arrested by police for breaching one of them.

"Although a potentially heated situation, it is not believed any other pie-related issues arose," Snr Sgt Reay said.
