Bedroom soiled in 'unusual' crime

Far from a clean getaway, police are on the hunt for a person who committed a dirty deed.

Dunedin police last night received a report from a North Dunedin resident who returned home from a weekend away from their Dundas St home to find their bedroom door in pieces and their room soaked in urine, acting Senior Sergeant Trevor Thomson said.

"It's an unusual one,'' he said.

"The bedroom door was taken off its hinges and split in half, and somebody has urinated in the bedroom.

"Nothing was taken.''

The crime was committed sometime from April 1, the day of the Hyde St party, to April 3.

The incident appeared "malicious'' but police were keeping an open mind as to the motivation behind it, acting Snr Sgt Thomson said.

Anyone who was aware of what occurred should contact Dunedin police, or Crimestoppers if they wished to remain anonymous.
