Boys on Dunedin school roof prompts 'Spiderman' callout
Police deployed their own super hero after an unusual Dunedin callout.
The unnamed officer was dubbed "Spiderman" for his agility in climbing the roof of Logan Park High School on Wednesday, about 7pm, Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said.
While on the roof he chased three teenage offenders, who had been spotted acting suspiciously.
"They were actively avoiding police," Dinnissen said of the trio.
The uniformed crime fighter managed to track down the boys, aged 13, 14 and 15.
No items were taken and no damage was reported at the school, and it was unclear what the boys' motives were, he said.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
