Northern Territory Police are seeking information regarding a robbery and assault in Tennant Creek early this morning.
Just after 5:00am the Joint Emergency Services Communications Centre received a report of a robbery in Boag Court.
It was reported that a group of 4 males, believed to be one adult and 3 youths, smashed a window to gain entry to a residence.
Once inside a male occupant was struck across the shoulder with a broomstick by the adult offender before he demanded the resident hand over his car keys and wallet.
The 3 youth offenders attempted to enter a room where the resident’s wife and children were hiding but they were able to push back and keep the door closed.
The 3 youths then ransacked the premises before fleeing and stealing a 2007 Mitsubishi 380 with NT registration 989922.
The vehicle was involved in an incident soon after at Mulga Camp before it was found abandoned on Peko Road.
Police are yet to determine if the robbery at Boag Court is connected to a serious assault and robbery on Ambrose Street about 10 minutes earlier.
Police are seeking anyone with information to call 131 444 and quote job NTP 2300013215
