The Northern Territory Police Force are calling for information after an aggravated robbery and an assault worker incident occurred over the long weekend.

Around 10.55pm Sunday 26 January 2025, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre (JESCC) received a report that five youths allegedly caused damage to the front doors of a service station on Bicentennial Road. The group then jumped the counter and stole a quantity of cigarettes and the cash register and fled the location on foot.

The staff were able to secure themselves in a staff room during the incident.

A short time later, police attended, and a crime scene was established.

Investigations are ongoing.

In a separate incident at 12.40am this morning, the JESCC received a report that a group of youths were throwing rocks at a service station on Bicentennial Road. A security worker intervened, and the group fled the location on foot.

The youths returned a short time later and began throwing rocks at the service station and the security worker, striking the 72-year-old male in the head before fleeing the scene on foot.

Police and St. John Ambulance attended and provided first aid to the victim.

Strike Force Cerberus have carriage of the incidents and investigations are ongoing.

Senior Sergeant Warren Scott said, “This behaviour is unacceptable, and no one deserves to be assaulted while at work.

“We take this type of offending incredibly seriously and will work tirelessly to locate and prosecute the individuals responsible.”
