Two serious assaults in Ranfurly kept police busy over the past week, with one incident needing assistance from units in Mosgiel, Dunedin, as well as Alexandra.

Senior Constable Graham Perkins said on Monday night police heard second hand information about a domestic incident in the town, between a male and a female.

Because of the seriousness of the incident, four units were dispatched and the male was arrested and taken to Queenstown where bail was opposed.

He was only charged with breaching bail but police inquiries were continuing, after the female victim was reluctant to press charges or receive any medical treatment for her injuries.

On Friday night police attended another serious incident in Ranfurly where a male was arrested at a workplace on two charges including assault and sexual assault on two females.

He was transported to Dunedin where bail was also opposed and would appear in court within the next week.

On the same night, Alexandra police were called to the Millers Flat Tavern where a Balclutha man was causing a disturbance.

Snr Const Perkins said he was arrested for disorderly behaviour and transported back to Balclutha with assistance from Gore Police.

Last Thursday, a cannabis grower was identified by police at a rural address in Omakau, after looking for a female who had a warrant out for her arrest.

Snr Const Perkins said three days later police were called to a burglary at the same address, where the offender had broken into the sleepout where she had been staying, and taken a television and sound system.

He said the female smashed her way into the sleepout after being evicted by the owner.

Both tenant and homeowner faced separate charges and would appear in the Alexandra District Court this week.
