PHOTO: PETER MCINTOSHThree teenagers allegedly assaulted a woman at a South Dunedin vape shop after being denied their evening nicotine fix. Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police were called to Hillside Rd at 8.15pm after a 20-year-old woman reported being assaulted by three teenagers. The trio attempted to enter a vape store called VaperZ in South Dunedin, but were denied service as they were underage. The three took exception to this and then allegedly assaulted a woman before fleeing the scene in a car. When the police caught up with the vehicle, a warrantless search was invoked after police spotted a weapon in the vehicle.
