The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested three offenders following an aggravated robbery in the Darwin CBD overnight.
Around 1:45am this morning, an adult male was about to enter a vehicle outside a park on Mitchell Street when he was allegedly attacked by two females and one male.
Police CCTV captured the incident, which showed the victim being knocked down to the ground by the offenders before they continued to assault him.
One offender allegedly stole a gold chain from the victim and also attempted to remove his wallet while he was on the ground. A physical struggle between the victim and the offenders continued before Darwin General Duties police arrived and deescalated the situation.
During the arrest, one of the female offenders attempted to flee and whilst being restrained, the other female offender assaulted an officer by striking him to the face.
Additional police attended shortly after and arrested the two females aged 29 and 24, and the male aged 29. Police also recovered the stolen property.
Strike Force Trident are continuing investigations, with charges likely to be laid later today.
Police urge anyone with information, or who witnessed the incident, to contact police on 131 444 or report anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 if you witness crime or anti-social behaviour.
