An alleged burglar with a penchant for high-end sneakers got a nasty surprise when police showed up on his doorstep after he tried to sell them online. A 37-year-old man appeared in the Dunedin District Court yesterday charged with two burglaries of student flats and a count of shoplifting. Nike shoes valued at $2500 were stolen from a house in St David St on Saturday during the Hyde St Party, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said. The student found them advertised on Facebook Marketplace and organised to meet at the man’s home address. He was declined bail by Judge David Robinson and will appear in court again next week.
