The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested one male in relation to an aggravated burglary and robbery in Alice Springs overnight.

Around 1:50am, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received a report four males, including one allegedly armed with an edged weapon, entered a residence on Bloomfield Street, Gillen.

The victim, a 26-year-old male who is house-sitting the residence, woke to find the four males inside the house and they demanded car keys from him.

The four offenders fled the scene in two separate dark blue Honda CRVs.

One of the vehicles has since been recovered by police and an 18-year-old male has been arrested.

The other offenders remain outstanding and investigations are ongoing.

Anyone with information or footage including CCTV is urged to contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report anonymously via crimestoppersnt.com.au.
