Hat thief reconsiders choices

DUNEDIN police are looking for a suspect who stole a big haul of headwear and clothes from a Brockville home, before apparently having second thoughts and dumping it at a park.

Senior Sergeant Trevor Thomson, of Dunedin, said the incident happened some time between last Thursday and Sunday in Saunders St.

After discovering the items missing, the homeowner ‘‘walked down to the Brockville park and lo and behold, that’s where they are,’’ Snr Sgt Thomson said.
