Territory Road Policing (TRP) have arrested and charged a 35-year-old man after an incident where police were targeted at a Random Breath Testing (RBT) station in Palmerston last week. 

Around 3:40pm on Friday, 22 May, Territory Road Policing members were conducting an RBT on Temple Terrace.

A Toyota Landcruiser was directed into the RBT but it refused to stop and allegedly drove through the RBT narrowly missing two TRP members. No injuries were reported.

The alleged offender has now been arrested and charged with Recklessly endanger serious harm, Drive manner dangerous and numerous traffic offences. He has been bailed to appear in Darwin Local Court on Monday 8 June 2026.

Superintendent Rick Magree said police would not tolerate such dangerous and unacceptable behaviour.

“We are appalled by the recklessness of this individual who targeted police officers doing their job.

“The deliberate targeting of our hardworking officers is absolutely abhorrent and we will not stand for it.”
