Police are looking for a mystery sock-wearing man caught on camera behaving suspiciously around cars while wearing socks on his hands and feet.
Porirua police were alerted to the man's behaviour after a resident recorded footage of him on a video he had installed in his driveway in Papakowhai and posted it on YouTube.
The man is wanted in connection with a car stolen from Papakowhai and there has been a "spate of burglaries and car thefts in the Porirua district", said Constable Dwight Agate.
On the video, taken overnight on January 17, the sock-wearing man is seen wandering between three cars parked in the Kinloch Place driveway.
He looks at the cars before opening the door of one and getting into the driver's. He emerges empty-handed and walks back down the driveway.
