Police are looking for two male youths who allegedly broke into a woman’s home in Lajamanu in the middle of the night, stole her car keys and used her vehicle to perform burnouts in the community, NT Police said.

Police director of communications Mark Wilton said that about 2am Wednesday, a 37-year-old woman was woken when the two male youths allegedly smashed a door and entered her home.

“It is alleged the males took vehicle keys from the victim and fled the scene in her car,” Mr Wilton said.

“The Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received reports the vehicle was performing burn outs in the community. It was later found to be bogged, but the keys have not yet been located.”

Mr Wilton said the offenders have not been caught.

Police are asking anyone with information, including CCTV or dashcam footage, to call them on 131 444, or attend their local police station. Anonymous reports can be made by calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or through the Crime Stoppers website.
