Northern Territory Police have apprehended 2 persons in relation to an Aggravated Burglary in Alice Springs overnight.
Just after 2:30am, CCTV operators identified a white Nissan X-Trail driving around the Alice Springs CBD in a dangerous manner.
A coordinated response was implemented to safely stop the vehicle, whilst Strike Force Viper members attended the registered owners address on Poeppel Gardens, Gillen.
Upon arrival, Viper members identified a window that appeared to have been interfered with and observed a suspicious person within the residence.
Entry was made by police, whereupon 2 males, aged 13-years-old and 14-years-old were located hiding.
The owner who was home at the time, confirmed the Nissan X-Trail to have been stolen, and also a second vehicle, being a silver Haval.
The 2 males were arrested without incident.
The Silver Haval was located by police shortly after, abandoned nearby and has been seized for forensic analysis.
The 13-year-old male and 14-year-old male remain in custody whilst investigations by Strike Force Viper remain ongoing and are expected to be charged later today.
