Police

Northern Territory Police have issued a comfit following a number of reported indecent assaults around the Darwin northern suburbs.

Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Manley from the Sex Crimes Unit said that in addition to the four incidents already reported another two women have come forward subsequent to appeals through the media.

The latest two incidents include:

  • Monday 30 November in the early morning between 5:30am and 6:00am a woman was approached at the corner of Lee Point Road and McMillans Road in Anula and grabbed from behind indecently.
  • Thursday 10 December at about 7:00am a woman was approached from behind and grabbed indecently in Yanyula Park, Anula.

“In each incident the offender is described as being a male, aged in his early 20s with a dark olive complexion and an athletic build – he is wearing sports or running attire.

Again we urge the public to consider their personal safety when out walking early or late in the day and to report anything suspicious.

“If you recognise the individual described or have any information at all please call Police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” Detective Senior Sergeant Manley said.
