Three 18-year-old women will appear in the Dunedin District Court next week following an incident late on Thursday.
The first woman was arrested and charged with breaching the conditions of her bail.
A second woman, believed to be a friend, was arrested immediately afterwards after the police officer was obstructed, Senior Sergeant Craig Brown, of Dunedin, said.
She was also found to be breaching bail.
While making the arrests, the officer dropped a phone, which was picked up and hidden by a third woman, Snr Sgt Brown said.
She was charged with theft and obstruction.
