The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested a 20-year-old male in relation to an aggravated robbery that occurred in Woodroffe early this morning.
Around 12:10am, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received a report that an unknown male entered the yard of a residence on Sibbald Crescent and allegedly began stealing from a trailer parked inside.
The 39-year-old female occupant at the residence observed the male at the trailer and confronted him. A struggle ensued and the offender allegedly physically assaulted the female multiple times to the face before fleeing the scene with two whipper snippers.
Police attended and the victim was assessed at the scene. She did not require further medical treatment.
A vehicle of interest was identified and later located abandoned with the whipper snippers inside.
Strike Force Strident members have since located and arrested a 20-year-old male who remains in custody with charges expected to follow.
