Northern Territory Police arrested two males early this morning following an incident at a service station in Wanguri.
Police allege the pair, with a third offender, attended the service station on Vanderlin Drive, causing extensive damage and threatening the attendant before stealing a number of items including tobacco products and fleeing.
Acting Senior Sergeant Riva Zio said, “Police were on the scene within minutes and members from general duties and Strike Force Trident gave chase on foot, with the Dog Operations Unit deploying Patrol Dog Drax, who located two alleged offenders hiding in bushes on a nearby private property.”
Police arrested a 16-year-old and a 24-year-old who were still in possession of allegedly stolen property. They are being interviewed by Strike Force Trident detectives today, and investigations are ongoing.
Acting Sergeant Dale Motter-Barnard said, “We are reviewing CCTV of the incident and are confident of apprehending the remaining offender.”
