The Northern Territory Police Force has now arrested a total of 58 offenders in relation to recent unrest in Wadeye.
Local police members with the assistance of Strike Force Trident, the Territory Response Group, and the Katherine Criminal Investigation Branch, identified and arrested 28 offenders in the days following violent disturbances in Wadeye.
These offenders ranged from 14 to 42 years of age.
A further 30 offenders have been arrested between February 13 and February 17 including a 30-year-old male that police identified as an allegedly key destabilising figure involved in the unrest.
The 30-year-old has been charged with three counts of Unlawfully cause serious harm, Acts intended to cause serious harm, Take part in a riot and other weapons offences.
He is also alleged to have struck three victims to the back of their head with a large machete, causing serious harm injuries. All three victims were flown to Royal Darwin Hospital via CareFlight.
An additional ten offenders have been arrested for outstanding warrants.
65 houses were searched resulting in the seizures of multiple edged and blunt weapons.
The NTPF has identified 14 new offenders in relation to an arson, aggravated burglary and assault that occurred during the disturbance.
A further three aggravated burglaries on dwellings, two vehicle arsons and one serious harm assault remain under investigation.
Community engagement is continuing and investigations remain ongoing.
Acting Commander Terry Zhang said: "Through these arrests and proactive policing activities, police have restored calm and stability to the community, with no further disturbances reported.
"This is a positive and encouraging sign. However, while enforcement action has addressed those responsible for the recent violence, long term stability will depend on community-led efforts to resolve longstanding disputes between family groups.
"Police will continue to work alongside community leaders and service providers to support safe and lasting outcomes for Wadeye."
