Youths allegedly committed three different lots of property damage in Katherine, including damaging a service station, smashing a house window, and damaging two cars, with police investigating if they were committed by the same group.
Police director of communications Mark Wilton said in a statement that there were three incidences in Katherine involving youths on Sunday night-Monday morning that police are investigating possible links between.
Mr Wilton said that on Sunday night about 10.30pm police received a report that up to 10 youths were near a service station on Katherine Terrace, with one allegedly armed with a knife.
He said one of the youths was alleged to have smashed a car window before the group ran off.
While at about 12:15am, police received reports that a group of youths allegedly entered another service station on Bicentennial Road, stealing small items, causing damage, and running off.
Mr Wilton said that about 1:15am, youths allegedly broke a window at a house on Grevillea Road, and damaged a vehicle before running off.
The offenders have not been caught and police are still investigating to see if they same youths were involved in all three incidents.
