Man arrested after milk thefts

November 27, 2012 - 5:46pm

Police solved a crime from the annals of history recently, apprehending a man allegedly stealing milk left by a milkman.

While deliveries of milk to the gate may be less common nowadays, it still occurs in at least one part of South Dunedin.

And when police were informed of a number of thefts, they set up a sting operation.

That resulted in a 45 year old man being apprehended after he was allegedly caught red handed - or perhaps with a milk moustache.

The man claimed to have no knowledge of earlier thefts.
