Wellington - Two youths who allegedly tagged a fence with graffiti were made to dance in the property owners' lounge to humiliate them until police arrived, according to New Zealand news reports on Thursday.
They were ordered to keep dancing in front of police officers and their performance was filmed and a video clip posted on You Tube.
'I made them dance to humiliate them and I think I've achieved that,' the owner of the property in Whangarei, Northland, who was identified only as Izzy, told the Northern Advocate newspaper.
'I told these idiots that they were not allowed to stop dancing just because the police were there,' he said. 'They were even dancing for the police while giving their details.'
The Whangarei police commander confirmed that claims the officers filmed the pair dancing were being investigated.
A 20-year-old man was charged with wilful damage arising from the incident.
