Northern Territory Police have seized two vehicles in separate incidents in Arnhem Land over the weekend.

Bulman Police set up a roadblock south of the community in the early hours of Sunday after receiving information from the public that people were coming into town with liquor and cannabis.

Acting Senior Sergeant Andrew Littman from the Arnhem and Western Division of Northern Command said the information received highlighted that positive community engagement was getting results.

“The residents of these communities do not want these illicit substances in their town, nor do they want the anti-social behaviour that often comes with it. “  Acting Senior Sergeant Littman said.

A Mitsubishi Pajero was stopped by Police at the roadblock.  A search was later conducted during which a small amount of cannabis and three bottles of spirits were located and seized.

A number of persons were apprehended in relation to liquor and drug offences. Two persons will appear in court at a later time, two persons were issued infringement notices and one person received a caution.

The vehicle was also seized. 

On Saturday evening while Minyerri Police were conducting a RBT on the side of the Roper Highway a Holden Barina failed to stop when requested to do so.

Police followed the vehicle a further kilometre and a half before the driver pulled over.

A search of the vehicle uncovered 40 cans of beer, 3 cans of post mix spirits and 4 bottles of spirits.

A 27 year-old female was apprehended and will be summonsed in relation to liquor and traffic offences. 

Her vehicle was also seized. 

Acting Senior Sergeant Littman said both incidents were good results for Remote Policing and community engagement.

“Northern Territory Police will continue to do everything possible to disrupt the transportation of illegal substances into these communities.  People need to know that they will be dealt with accordingly and may face seizure of their vehicle if they engage in this type of offending.”
