Northern Territory Police have arrested a male in relation to an aggravated robbery in Katherine earlier this week.

At 10:40pm on Thursday 15 September, a 16-year-old male allegedly threatened an employee with an edged weapon at a business on Oshea Terrace before stealing a quantity of cash and fleeing the scene.

The male was arrested on Friday and has since been charged by members from the Katherine Criminal Investigation Branch with one count of aggravated robbery. He was remanded to appear in court Monday 19 September 2022.

Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Jeremy Brunton said, “Katherine Police would like to thank the members of the public that came forward, who provided vital information allowing police to make a quick arrest.

“This disgraceful behaviour has no place within our community.”
