Two police recruits have been charged in relation to alleged crimes committed on Saturday while the pair were off duty, NT Police said, with one facing a drink driving charge and the other charged with assaulting a worker.

A statement Monday said an “incident” occurred at an unnamed licensed premises in the Darwin CBD at an unspecified time on Saturday that saw a 42-year-old male officer arrested at the scene and charged with assaulting a worker and fighting in a public place.

Police said he was bailed to appear before in the Darwin Local Court on November 18.

The other new recruit officer, a 34-year-old man, was also “apprehended at the scene” and later issued a notice to appear for driving with a medium range blood alcohol content.

It is understood both officers have currently been stood down with pay.

“This update has been provided in accordance with the NT Police Transparency Guidelines,” the statement said.

The latest recruit charges follow an incident last month that saw another constable recruit charged with weapons offences after he was observed carrying a fake glock firearm at the police station, which led to a raid of his home. Police alleged the recruit had manufactured the gun with a 3D printer.

He was suspended with pay while the matter makes its way through the courts.
