    Police in Oamaru have arrested a man, after a high-powered laser was pointed at the Otago Rescue Helicopter about 10pm last night

    Police in Oamaru have arrested a man, after a high-powered laser was pointed at the Otago Rescue Helicopter about 10pm last night


    Sergeant Tony Woodbridge says the laser targeted the helicopter for four minutes, over North Oamaru.

    He says it was able to pinpoint where the laser was - and followed the offender onto the Thames Highway.

    Officers arrested the 39-year-old at a petrol station.

    He'll appear court next Wednesday.
