Alleged hit-and-run in Dunedin

Police are appealing for witnesses after a possible hit-and-run in Dunedin.

A member of the public notified police of the incident on the corner of George St and St Andrews St at around 3:30pm this afternoon.

The car involved was a small, blue Nissan hatchback, which police say was stolen overnight. It was followed into the Meridian Mall, where it was abandoned by two teenage boys, aged 13 and 15.

Police have spoken with the 13-year-old, who has been referred to Youth Aid for further action. The 15-year-old is known to police and is wanted for breach of bail.

Police would like to identify and speak with the pedestrian from the incident. He is described as an elderly Caucasian man in his late 60s to early 70s, who was wearing a blue and black Swanndri jacket.

Witnesses are urged to contact police on (03) 471 4800 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
