The Northern Territory Police Force has charged a 17-year-old male following a series of property offences and indecent incidents in Lyons last week.
Between 3 and 6 February, it was observed through CCTV that the 17-year-old allegedly entered a residence on seven different occasions, stealing alcohol and personal items, and indecently exposing himself on several occasions.
On 6 February, an adult resident allegedly witnessed the male and intervened before he fled the scene.
On 8 February, about 8:30pm, Strike Force Trident Detectives attended the victim's residence to progress their investigation, when the Detectives were notified of an alleged indecent touching incident that had only just occurred, on a female who was exercising in Lyons.
Trident Detectives swiftly located and arrested the 17-year-old male and he was subsequently charged with:
• 7 x Trespass
• 2 x Aggravated burglary
• 4 x Theft
• 2 x Indecent exposure
• Damage to property
• Indecent touching
• Breach bail
He was remanded over the weekend and will appear in court today.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Chris Humphries said "I commend the efforts of my Detectives for their swift response and comprehensive investigation into these incidents.
"This behaviour will not be tolerated and police will continue to put serious offenders before the courts."
