Serious Crime Squad detectives have arrested a 48-year-old New South Wales man for breach of parole.

The male was arrested at a Coolalinga address around 11:50 yesterday morning without incident.

His arrest is in conjunction with Operation Roam, a nationwide Crime Stoppers initiative to locate outstanding fugitives.

The male had been wanted by New South Wales Police prior to travelling to the Northern Territory.

He is due to appear in the Darwin Local Court today where an application for extradition to New South Wales is expected to be heard.

Police would like to thank the public for their assistance.
