Sweets thrown during argument over transaction

A woman pelted a staff member with lollies at a Dunedin supermarket during an argument over a transaction, police say.

Acting Senior Sergeant Simon Reay, of Dunedin, said a 43-year-old woman called police after she was "unimpressed with customer service" at the supermarket in Brockville about 6pm on Sunday.

"She threw some lollies at a staff member in frustration over an argument about a transaction," Acting Snr Sgt Reay said.

Her money was returned, but she was also trespassed from the store.

• Police received a call from Community Care Trust in South Dunedin about 3pm on Friday alleging two youths were interfering with their vehicles in the carpark.

Two boys, aged 15 and 16, were allegedly seen by staff trying the door handles of two vehicles in the carpark, before entering one of them and "rummaging through it", Acting Snr Sgt Reay said.

When officers arrived, the pair "took off on scooters" but were found and arrested.

They will appear in the Youth Court later this week on charges of unlawful interference with a motor vehicle and unlawfully entering a motor vehicle.
