A Dunedin woman’s alleged city-wide theft spree came to an end after the long arm of the law finally caught up with her.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers located a 27-year-old woman, who was wanted for several shoplifting offences, at 12.40pm yesterday.
Police said that on July 16, the woman stole candles and a vacuum cleaner from Briscoes valued at $1179.
The following day, she allegedly went to New World Centre City where she filled up a trolley with meat and bread worth $316 before leaving with it.
Other allegations include that on June 4 she went into Rebel Sport and stole $399 worth of clothing.
Two days earlier she was at the New World supermarket, where she allegedly stole grocery items valued at $750.
Snr Sgt Bond said, in total, the woman had stolen just over $4000 worth of goods from the central city area.
