NT Police are calling for information following an aggravated robbery that occurred in Katherine early this morning.

Around 3:30am, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received a report that three unknown males had broken into a residence on Ronan Court wearing face coverings.

It is alleged that the group gained entry to the residence by throwing a brick through the rear sliding door. They were armed with an axe, a shovel and a metal pole. One of the offenders subsequently broke through a bedroom door using an axe. The female victim inside the room at the time yelled and her husband awoke.

At this time, one of the males entered the bedroom and stole several personal items. The male occupant then confronted the offenders, who began swinging their weapons toward the male. He was able to deflect their advances with a pole.

A short time later, the offenders fled the scene, and the male and female victims secured themselves within their residence.

Police attended and a crime scene was established. Both the male and female occupants were not injured during the incident.

The alleged offenders remain outstanding. Katherine Criminal Investigation Branch and Strikeforce Cerberus are investigating the matter.

Constable Matthew Ragless said, "The actions of these individuals are despicable, and incident was traumatising to the occupants of the residence.
