A man has been left out of pocket and injured after a ‘‘drug deal gone wrong’’ in Dunedin, police say.
Constable Nick Turner said officers were called to an incident on John Wilson Ocean Dr about 10pm on Saturday.
A 21-year-old man was assaulted after allegedly handing over $200 for MDMA, he said.
It was not believed the man received the class-B drug in return.
‘‘If you’re dealing in that realm, there’s no Consumer Guarantees Act,’’ Const Turner said.
A police investigation is ongoing.
