Two teenagers were arrested yesterday after they were identified as allegedly being involved in an unlawful entry in Burke Street, Alice Springs.

Police received a call just before 1pm yesterday from a concerned member of the public who noticed suspicious activity at a residence. When police arrived they saw a group of youths running from the area with a large amount of electrical items. The youths dropped most of the property when they saw police and two of the alleged offenders aged 17 and 15 were arrested a short time later.

Police investigations also led to the discovery of a large quantity of electrical goods and cash located in the 17-year-old's Mitsubishi Lancer sedan. Police allege the property was stolen during an unlawful entry at a residence in Murray Street on May 31.

A 17-year-old male has been charged with numerous offences including aggravated unlawful entry. He has been bailed to appear in the Youth justice Court on July 22. The 15-year-old male will be considered for Youth Diversion. Police investigations are continuing.
