The Northern Territory Police Force has charged a 33-year-old male for drug and firearm offences in Darwin last Thursday.

About 3:35pm, Gangs Task Force members executed a targeted traffic apprehension at a business on Stuart Highway in Berrimah after receiving intelligence of offending. The male is believed to be a prospect for the Mongols Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang located in Darwin.

The man attempted to flee from police before colliding with a police vehicle and another vehicle belonging to a member of the public. He then continued to evade police apprehension resulting in a short pursuit in North Crest. The vehicle stopped due to damage and the man was arrested without further incident.

Police conducted a lawful search of the vehicle and located 116 grams of methamphetamine, 1.5 grams of cocaine and 20 tablets of unauthorised prescription medication. Along with that, the man was in possession of a firearm, ammunition, cash and drug paraphernalia.

He has since been charged with:
