The alleged broad daylight theft of money from the pockets of an unconscious woman lying in the Dunedin CBD has landed two men in the Dunedin District Court. Sergeant Matt Lee said police were called to George St about 5pm on Wednesday after receiving reports from members of the public that two males had taken money off an intoxicated woman who had passed out in the street. ‘‘So she couldn’t stop them from taking the money. ‘‘A 42-year-old male and a 54-year-old male have both been charged with theft and possessed cannabis.’’They were held in police custody to appear in court, he said. Police opposed bail because of the men’s previous convictions, and the seriousness of the new charges they were facing, he said.
