Dunedin police are investigating the theft of a 200kg digger piece from a Fairfield construction site.

The hole-drilling equipment was allegedly taken from a Howarth Road property over the weekend.

Sergeant Steve Aitken says it's possible the equipment was moved over a fence to be accessed from the motorway.

Police are also investigating the theft of a cash box from a Fryatt Street office, and women's underwear from a clothesline in Fairfield.

And enquiries are continuing into the cause of a Green Island shed fire, believed to have started when butane gas ignited.

A 29 year old man is being treated for burns at Dunedin Hospital, and will be spoken to by police.
