The Northern Territory Police Force is calling for information in relation to two stolen motor vehicles that were recovered on Sunday.
About 4:10am, police received reports of two vehicles, a Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux, driving erratically in Katherine CBD. Police attempted a traffic apprehension on the Ford Ranger and a pursuit ensued after the vehicle failed to stop. A short time later the vehicle stopped near the Katherine Sports grounds and all occupants fled from the scene on foot.
Police recovered the Toyota Hilux abandoned on Victoria Highway a short time later. It has since been identified that the vehicles were stolen from the yard of a business on Gillard Crescent.
This forms part of a crime series overnight targeting four Katherine commercial premises; it is unknown if the incidents are linked at this time. Strike Force Cerberus has carriage of the investigations.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage in relation to these incidents is urged to contact police on 131 444.
