Northern Territory Police have arrested multiple offenders after a crime series across the Greater Darwin Area overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday evening, between 15 \u2013 20 male youths travelled from the Western Daly Region to Adelaide River where they unlawfully entered a school and stole a bus that was then used to travel to Darwin. The bus was abandoned in Berrimah before the group allegedly entered the yard of a business on Moo Street and stole 2 vehicles, ramming the gate with the vehicles to exit the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vehicles were used to drive to Winnellie where they attended multiple businesses, stealing a Toyota Landcruiser utility and ramming through the gate at one business, stealing a Ford Fiesta sedan from another business and causing damage at multiple other businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe same group of offenders continued to steal further cars which included a Landcruiser Troop Carrier from a licenced premises on Gilruth Avenue and another Landcruiser Troop Carrier from a residence in Nakara. Several of the stolen vehicles were then abandoned in Nakara and at the Casuarina Coastal Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAround 3am, both Landcruiser Troop Carriers drove into a cordon set by Strike Force Trident and Dog Operations Unit (DOU). A pursuit was initiated through Berry Springs before one of the vehicles turned and drove back toward Darwin and the second continued south of Darwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA tyre deflation device (TDD) was successfully deployed in the Acacia Hills area on the Stuart Highway, with two offenders aged 15 and 16 apprehended after a foot chase. A short time later, an older model Landcruiser failed to stop at the second cordon and a pursuit was initiated which resulted in a 16-year-old male being apprehended.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAround 7:30am, another Landcruiser utility failed to stop at a traffic cordon and a pursuit was commenced. A TDD was deployed with the offender deliberately ramming into a police vehicle, rendering it inoperable.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFour youths aged 15, 15, 15 and 16 were apprehended at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFurther investigation indicated that both utilities had been stolen overnight from a facility in Acacia Hills on the Stuart Highway. Trident later arrested two males in the Casuarina area aged 16 and 17 in connection with the offending.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSenior Sergeant Dale Motter-Barnard said, \u201cThese offenders have conducted extensive property offences across the Greater Darwin Region and caused significant damage.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe have now recovered 7 of the 8 stolen vehicles and have 9 offenders in custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Northern Territory Police have arrested multiple offenders after a crime series across the Greater Darwin Area overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":140855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[273,999,35,921],"tags":[8726,5898],"class_list":["post-140854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-australia","category-australia-politics","category-breaking-news","category-crime","tag-darwin","tag-northern-territory"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=140854"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":140863,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140854\/revisions\/140863"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/140855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=140854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=140854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=140854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
