Police Charge Two Over Alice Springs Burglary

Northern Territory Police have arrested and charged two males in relation to an alleged burglary at a premises on Undoolya Road in July.

It is alleged that on 24 July 2026, the pair forced entry into the premises before ransacking an office and bar area.

A quantity of alcohol and cash were allegedly stolen during the incident.

Strike Force Viper members conducted investigations into the burglary and subsequently identified two alleged offenders.

This morning, Strike Force Viper members attended separate residential addresses in Alice Springs and arrested a 20-year-old male and a 17-year-old boy.

Both males have since been charged with one count each of aggravated burglary, damage to property and theft and police bail was refused both for males.

The 17-year-old is due to appear in court later today and the 20-year-old, scheduled for court tomorrow.

Strike Force Viper Senior Sergeant Glenn Bolger said members had been working to locate the two individuals following the incident, which caused disruption to the business.

"Strike Force Viper continues to actively investigate property crime across Alice Springs and identify those allegedly responsible.

"More than six weeks had passed since this burglary, but our members continued their enquiries, identified the alleged offenders and yesterday arrested both men.

"If you commit property crime in Alice Springs, you should expect police to continue investigating until we identify you and put you before the courts."

Investigations remain ongoing.
