A maskless man purloining a single orange is among the array of lockdown breach incidents in Dunedin.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said a 26-year-old man entered New World Gardens at 10am on Thursday and stole an orange.
The man quickly left after being approached by staff because of his lack of a mask.
He was located and trespassed, and Covid-19 advice was provided to him, Snr Sgt Dinnissen said.
Lockdown protocol continued to be breached throughout the day in the city.
At 4pm the occupants of four flats in Heriot Row were spoken to after partying together in a group of 18.
The group believed the flats were all one bubble because they were connected.
Police advised the occupants of the correct protocols.
Members of the public were spoken to by police in John Wilson Ocean Dr at 5pm after several vehicles were driven to the street so the occupants could go for a walk.
Elsewhere, staff were found to be working at a business in Vogel St after confusion around their ability to work during lockdown.
Police clarified the rules with the owner and two employees present.
The business was closed following further inquiries, Snr Sgt Dinnissen said.
