Man breaks into RAAF Base Darwin and steals vehicle
A man who allegedly unlawfully entered a defence base in the Northern Territory, assaulted a defence force member and stole a car is still on the run from police.
Yesterday afternoon, an individual unlawfully entered RAAF Base Darwin in the Northern Territory and assaulted a defense force member before stealing a vehicle, according to a defense spokesperson. Security personnel, the Joint Military Police Unit, Northern Territory Police, and Australian Federal Police responded to the base following the incident.
The car was reportedly spotted traveling southbound on the Stuart Highway, but police lost sight of it. This is the second security breach at the base in recent weeks; a lockdown was triggered by a training exercise last month.
