Northern Territory Police are investigating two separate incidents in which supermarkets were targeted by unknown offenders in Alice Springs earlier this week.

Around 11pm on Monday police were alerted to an incident in which unknown offenders used a vehicle to cause damage to the outside wall of the supermarket on Milner Road in an attempt to gain entry.

In a separate incident just before midnight police responded to an unlawful entry of a supermarket in Braitling.
