Smurfs caught stealing trampoline

Two blue "Smurfs" were left with red faces on Saturday night after they were arrested for stealing a trampoline.

Dunedin police said two drunk 19-year-olds, "dressed as smurfs", were seen carrying the trampoline along a street about 1am.

They dropped it and ran off when they saw the police. The pair were later arrested.

Smurfs featured in the 1980s television cartoon series The Smurfs.
