A four-year-old boy has been paid a visit by police in the South Island after calling to make a report - on their toy collection.
"While we don’t encourage children to call 111 to show us their toys, this was too cute not to share," police said on their Facebook page on Friday afternoon.
"Can I ask you something?" the youngster asks the police dispatcher. "I've got some toys for you. Come over and see them!"
The child's father said he had been focusing on their sibling when the four-year-old "snuck out".
Southern District Police Constable Kurt responded to the scene at the child's home, where he was "shown an array of toys", police said.
"He also had a good educational chat with the child and his parents about only using 111 for emergencies."
"He did have cool toys!" Constable Kurt reported.
