Detectives from Task Force Southern have arrested a man and a woman following an ongoing investigation into a stolen excavator.

The excavator, which police know was used in the Mid North, was seized on 12 July by Northern Territory Police after they raided a property at Borroloola. The excavator and trailer was stolen from a property at Meadows in November 2019 and is linked to suspects in the investigation.
