NT Police hold fears a Caucasian woman in her 40s may have been abducted in Howard Springs on ANZAC Day and are calling for information from the public, after the woman was allegedly seen “being coerced” into a white Toyota Hilux.

Police said the incident occurred around 6:30am on Thursday on Thornbill Crescent where it was alleged the woman, described as Caucasian and in her 40s wearing “athletic attire”, was coerced into the Toyota Hilux by “a man and woman of Aboriginal appearance”.

The vehicle then reportedly left the area.
