The Northern Territory Police Force has deployed the Fugitive Task Force (FTF) to the West Daly Region.

The FTF was stood up in December 2024 to boost ongoing efforts to target recidivist offenders and enhance community safety.

Over a three-day deployment to the West Daly Region, the task force has made 20 arrests and served two domestic violence orders, along with assisting local police with multiple outstanding matters.

The offences committed by those arrested include breach of bail, outstanding warrants, aggravated assault and breach of domestic violence orders.

Acting Commander Drew Slape said, “The Fugitive Task Force continues to focus on holding recidivist and high harm offenders to account.

“We will continue to pursue those who have outstanding matters and present ongoing risks to community safety.”
