Northern Territory Police are appealing for information after a vehicle was stolen from a home in Nakara during an aggravated assault this morning.

An unknown man stole the keys for a 2010 silver Camry from the house and fled the scene in the car at around 4:30am.

As the driver and passenger were fleeing the scene, they hit a police car that had arrived at the house.  

Officers followed the vehicle for a short time before the pursuit was terminated.

The occupants of the home were offered medical assistance.

The car was later found in Coconut Grove around 2:30pm.

“Investigators are looking for a man described as being around 30 years old and approximately 180cm tall. He was heavyset in appearance wearing a red t-shirt or top,” Detective Senior Sergeant David Allan said.

“He is described as having dark coloured skin, a small black moustache and short hair with bleached blond tips. The male described was at the house with a woman who was known to the residents.”

“We’re asking for anyone who witnessed the incident, the pursuit or who saw the car or people involved to contact police,” Detective Senior Sergeant Allan said.

“If you have any information, please call police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000.”
