Police are searching for a man who threatened to track down a Dunedin parking warden over a parking ticket.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers were called after an unknown man went into the Dunedin City Council building about 11am yesterday.
The man threatened to track down the parking warden who issued the ticket, Snr Sgt Bond said.
Investigations were ongoing.
DCC customer and regulatory general manager Claire Austin said the council was aware of the incident.
"This sort of behaviour is completely unacceptable.
"Our staff are people too, with families and loved ones who care for them, and they do not deserve to be threatened or abused just for doing their jobs," she said.
