An alleged burglar who was spotted counting a wad of cash outside an Invercargill property was apprehended by police when he apparently went in search of more loot.
On Wednesday morning, a witness watched a "suspicious" man come out of a Kelvin St address, count a wad of cash and return inside, before they informed police, Senior Sergeant Maggie Windle said.
Police were called shortly before 11am, and arrested an 18 year-old man at the scene.
The man has been remanded in custody and will appear in the Invercargill District Court next week.
