Drug gear, ammo found

REPORTS of suspicious activity in the Dunedin suburb of Burnside on Friday night led police to uncover meth pipes and live ammunition in a Dunedin property.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said a member of the public reported suspicious activity in Eclipse Rd as three people were trying to jumpstart a car about 9.30pm.

The car turned out to be stolen, Snr Sgt Bond said.

A male in the group said he had recently bought the car, but he was wanted on another matter and was arrested, he said.

When searching his property police found meth pipes, drug paraphernalia, a knife and live ammunition.

He was arrested for breaching bail, and appeared in court on Saturday morning on charges of possession of ammunition and possession of drugs and paraphernalia.

In a separate incident several hours later, police found another stolen car, at 3.20am on Saturday in Macandrew Rd being driven by a 34yearold woman.

The woman was arrested and charged with unlawfully converting a motor vehicle and appeared in court on Saturday morning.
