A man was arrested at the weekend after smashing an ATM at The Warehouse in South Dunedin before commandeering a forklift and using it to lift a parked car.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said police were called to the supermarket car park about 5.50am on Sunday.
After allegedly stealing some Milo from the supermarket the 42-year-old man proceeded to try and smash the ATM outside The Warehouse, Snr Sgt Bond said.
"Staff members at Pak n Save were watching him smash the ATM which appeared to aggravate him."
The supermarket staff then closed the roller doors to keep themselves safe inside.
