Two women have been arrested for selling liquor without a licence in Katherine South on 29 December.

Police apprehended the women after observing a third person – known to be a banned drinker – enter a residence and leave soon after with a shopping bag containing alcohol.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Malogorski said the property was searched soon after. Police seized a quantity of alcohol, cash and fireworks.

“This was a substantial seizure and police urge the public to contact Crime Stoppers with any information of people selling liquor illegally in the NT.”

A 43-year-old woman was bailed to appear in court on 2 January.

A 25-year-old woman was issued a Notice to Appear.

“Katherine Police will continue to target people selling liquor without a liquor licence in the Katherine region,” Detective Senior Sergeant Malogorski said.
