The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested two people in relation to a crash in Nightcliff yesterday.

Around 3:40pm yesterday, police received reports of a TV theft that occurred at a business in a shopping centre at Yarrawonga. A male purchased a TV and allegedly provided two females believed to be known to him with the receipt afterwards. It is alleged the two females walked around for an hour and loaded their trolley with a separate TV and other items before walking out and presenting the same receipt.

Shopping centre security staff were made aware of the suspicious activity and upon questioning the females one of them allegedly swung a metal bat at the security guard before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.

About 11:20pm the same day, Strike Force Trident detectives attended a residence in Nightcliff in relation to the ongoing investigation. The alleged offender from the previous incident arrived at the residence while police were in attendance and tried to flee by jumping on the side of a vehicle that was being driven by someone believed to be known to her.

The vehicle later crashed into a fence on Eugenia Street with all occupants within the vehicle fleeing, and the woman, fleeing the scene on foot. Three adult occupants of the vehicle were located hiding in nearby yards. The female that police were looking for remains outstanding.

A 37-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of being the driver and conveyed to Royal Darwin Hospital for the purpose of a blood test and medical assessment.

A 29-year-old female was arrested for disorderly behaviour and conveyed to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical assessment.

Strike Force Trident have carriage of the investigations.
