A Dunedin teenager has landed himself a date in court after allegedly taking a passenger for a drunken ride on a moped.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old was observed \u2018\u2018driving poorly on a moped with a passenger on the back\u2019\u2019, about 5.30am this morning, Acting Senior Sergeant Iain Notman, of Dunedin, said.<\/p>\n
He was stopped by police in Great King St North and underwent breath testing procedures.<\/p>\n
He recorded a breach alcohol level of 400mcg.<\/p>\n
The legal limit for adults is 250mcg of alcohol per litre of breath, but for those under 20 it is zero.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old was summonsed to appear in the Dunedin District Court at a later date, Acting Snr Sgt Notman said.<\/p>\n
About 6.30pm yesterday, police responded to reports of \u2018\u2018a shirtless male stopping traffic and attempting to punch vehicles\u2019\u2019, near Bay View and Prince Albert Rds.<\/p>\n
The man did not make contact with any vehicles and no damage was reported.<\/p>\n
Police arrived and arrested the shirtless man for disorderly behaviour and removed him from the area, Acting Snr Sgt Notman said.<\/p>\n
Police also yesterday arrested a third remaining youth wanted in relation to the alleged theft of cars and fleeing from police.<\/p>\n
The 15-year-old boy allegedly fled police at high speed in a stolen vehicle early Sunday morning, after another allegedly stolen vehicle he was in convoy with was spotted by an off-duty police officer crashing in Andersons Bay Rd.<\/p>\n
The boy was expected to appear in the Dunedin Youth Court today, Acting Snr Sgt Notman said.<\/p>\n
He faces charges of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, failing to stop when followed by blue and red flashing lights, driving in a dangerous manner and unlawfully getting into a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n
