The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested the fourth outstanding youth following an aggravated burglary at a Katherine business early yesterday morning.
Around 1:40am on 13 August, four youths allegedly entered a motorcycle business on Giles Street and gained access to an unsecured shed.
It is alleged the offenders located two motorcycles and attempted to steal them before abandoning them nearby a short time later and fleeing the area.
Members from Strike Force Cerberus and Strike Force Trident commenced enquiries and identified the four offenders believed to have been involved. Around 10:20am yesterday, three of the youths aged 12, 13 and 17, were arrested.
Following investigations, police identified the fourth outstanding youth as a 13-year-old male.
At 1:30pm, members conducted a traffic apprehension and search of an outbound bus on the Victoria Highway and the 13-year-old was located and arrested.
He has since been charged with aggravated burglary and breaching bail and is due to appear in court today.
Strike Force Cerberus and Strike Force Trident investigations into recent property offending in Katherine remain ongoing. Police urge anyone who witnesses crime to call 131 444, or in an emergency dial 000.
