A young man who allegedly burgled a North Dunedin motel at the weekend was apprehended by police after leaving a jacket bearing his name at the scene.
Acting Senior Sergeant Trevor Thomson, of Dunedin, said the young man allegedly broke into two units of Aria on Bank motel through a bathroom window early on Saturday.
He absconded with some items from the room, but was tracked down shortly afterwards by officers using the surname on the black jacket.
He was due to appear in court shortly.
