Two teenagers who allegedly burgled a Dunedin sleepout were arrested after being dobbed in by vigilant neighbours, police say.<\/p>\n

Police were called to a property in Colquhoun St, Glenross, about 8pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The teens were spotted on the property by neighbours who knew the owners were away on holiday, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said.<\/p>\n

“Good neighbourhood watch there.”<\/p>\n

The pair allegedly broke into the property and stole items from a sleepout.<\/p>\n

Officers found the teenagers, both aged 15, running across nearby Ellis Park and arrested them.<\/p>\n

They were not known to the owners of the property.<\/p>\n

They would appear in the Youth Court today, both charged with burglary, Snr Sgt Bond said. \u00a0<\/p>\n
