Dunedin police attended several crashes over the weekend.
A driver stopped in Dunedin had his night turned from bad to worse, when it was revealed that he should not be driving and was in a car that was not his.
The 24-year-old was arrested on Stuart Street in Dunedin on Saturday around 12:20 a.m. M.
That man, police would soon discover, was a disqualified driver and was charged with his third crime, Sergeant Major Craig Dinnissen said.
A check on the vehicle found that it was stolen and that it was impounded.
The man was also charged with receiving, he said.

He appeared in Dunedin District Court on Saturday, and police objected to his bail.
Meanwhile, some men received alcohol violation notices, for being drunk and drinking alcohol within the alcohol prohibition area, on Saturday around 9 a.m.
That comes after a day when police posted a map of the liquor area on their Facebook page.
“They took it upon themselves to test it,” he said.
Each of the men would have to pay a fine of $ 250.
Police attended an incident in which a 20-year-old man was injured after his parking brake failed after exiting his Land Cruiser on Saturday night.
The vehicle rolled five meters and dragged the man with it, who allegedly suffered a broken collarbone, Dinnissen said.
He was taken to Dunedin Hospital by St John’s ambulance.
The owner of a red Mazda Review can look forward to a visit from the police, after an abandoned vehicle was found upside down in the port of Otago, near the albatross colony, on Sunday around 3 a.m.
Although the vehicle was missing its license plates, the registered owner was identified as a 19-year-old South Dunedin driver.
That same vehicle was the subject of multiple complaints driving around Richardson St in the suburb of St Kilda a day earlier.
