The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested four youths in relation to a stolen motor vehicle in Alice Springs last night.
Around 7:30pm, police received reports of a vehicle being stolen whilst the owner was attending a restaurant on Gap Road. The vehicle was observed by police CCTV operators and tracked using the owners iPad that was left in the car.
