13.01.2022 COMMUNITY MEMBER THANKS HER LOCAL POLICE: Just wanted to pass on a huge thank you to two police officers on duty last night. My husband and I were travelling along Vanderlin Drive just past YMCA when we stopped to help a young lady who had a flat tyre. As it was quite dark with no street light to help I pulled our car up close so my hubby could get on with changing the tire, and turned our hazard lights on. The spare it turns out was flat also and about this time your two o...fficers pulled up and offered to help also. One of the officers took over putting the tyre on and told the young lady that she should only go as far as the service station on Stuart Hwy with it to be safe - she declined saying a friend was coming to get her and they would leave the car there. The officers said they had just started their shift and probably had a busy night ahead of them but with so many negative comments sometimes on FB about our police force I just wanted to let you know that we appreciate everything you all do even if it is to help us help someone else. Cheers and have a good day See more

08.01.2022 Cross Border Team Cannabis Seized Tennant Creek The Cross Border Team arrested a 56-year-old man yesterday for possession of cannabis. NT Police in cooperat...ion with South Australian Organised Crime working on Operation Marlin, received information that the man was travelling from Adelaide with a large quantity of cannabis bound for the Northern Territory. Detective Sergeant Andrew Bedwell said that Police apprehended the man driving a Smart Car, south of Tennant Creek yesterday. On Tuesday 10 November 2015, Cross Border Team detectives and intelligence members began surveillance operations. At about 4:15pm on Wednesday 11 November, investigators intercepted the man just south of Tennant Creek. The vehicle was subject to a search and just over four kilograms of cannabis was located in nine separate vacuum sealed bags. The man was arrested and charged with possess and supply cannabis. He is remanded in custody to appear before the Tennant Creek Magistrates court on Thursday 12 November 2015. The cannabis seized was destined for Tennant Creek and Barkly communities and had the potential to yield a potential cash return of approximately $63,000 if sold by the pound. This figure would be significantly larger if sold in smaller amounts, said Andy Bedwell. This is another great result for the Cross Border Team and we will continue to work with the SA and WA Police to reduce the transport of illicit substances into the tri-border area.

08.01.2022 OFF DUTY SENIOR SERGEANT CHASED DOWN AND ARRESTED 2 OFFENDERS... IN HIS JOCKS: The 2 males were found trespassing and stealing from Snr Sgt Stringer's neighbours at 3am on Monday. With no time to change, he ran out in his undies and gave chase. Despite some slight embarrassment, the property was returned and charges laid. We're sure the boss will never live it down either.

07.01.2022 THOUGHTS GO OUT TO NSW POLICE: There is a lot of speculation in the media right now about the incident that has taken place in Parramatta.
