Attributable to Detective Sergeant John MacDade:
A Dunedin man was arrested today in relation to a fake improvised explosive device found at Dunedin Airport earlier this year.
The airport was closed for a time on Sunday 17 March due to a suspicious package on the airfield.
The incident caused significant disruption to a large number of members of the public and staff using the airport. One international flight was returned to its Australian departure point, and several domestic flights were diverted as a result.
