Police have today released Comfits of the two offenders who allegedly robbed a woman at the side of the Stuart Highway near Ti Tree on Sunday.

The 21-year-old victim told police she had been driving northbound on the Stuart Highway around 12.30pm on Sunday when she pulled over approximately 40 kilometres south of Ti Tree after feeling a shudder in the steering of her Toyota Hilux. She got out of the car and as she was inspecting the tyres a white Holden Commodore with two male occupants travelling in the opposite direction pulled up in front of her car.

The woman started to get back in her vehicle but one of the men got out of his car and grabbed hold of her driver's side door. The other man then also got out of the car and started rifling through the victim's vehicle. They allegedly grabbed an envelope containing almost $1000 cash, a laptop and approximately $500 from the victim's wallet. They then fled in their car and the woman drove herself to Ti Tree and reported the incident to police.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may be able to identify the alleged offender and anyone with information should phone Tennant Creek Police on 89620944 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
