Man dragged onto Bagot road during violent car theft in Darwin
Two teenagers have been charged with aggravated robbery after one of the alleged offenders dragged a man onto a main Darwin road before the pair stole his vehicle. Police alleged the 14-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl went on to use the stolen vehicle in a series of ram raids across the city in the early hours of Saturday morning. The pair have received more than 20 charges combined, including breach of bail, aggravated robbery, property damage and drink driving. In a statement, NT police said at the time of the theft a warrant was out for the arrest of the teenage boy after he "allegedly fled the courts and removed his electronic monitoring device prior to his court appearance" the day prior. Police said the incident began at around 1:35am on Saturday morning, when the two teenagers allegedly approached the man at the BP petrol station on Bagot Road in Coconut Grove. "The male youth allegedly grabbed the victim from behind and demanded his vehicle keys before a struggle ensued," the statement read. It is alleged the teenagers then threatened the man with a knife, before he handed over his keys and the pair drove off in his Toyota Camry. The vehicle was then allegedly used in a crime spree across Darwin, causing damage to multiple businesses. "A short time later, the stolen Toyota Camry was allegedly used to ram through fire escape doors at a business in Eaton, where the offenders entered the premises and stole a quantity of alcohol," police said. Police said the pair then drove to the Darwin Waterfront precinct, where they allegedly ram raided a convenience store and stole cigarettes, before fleeing the scene. Two hours after the pair allegedly stole the car, the Strike Force Trident and Dog Operations Unit spotted the vehicle travelling through Coconut Grove and attempted to apprehend it, but the vehicle did not stop. Police chased the car through Millner and back into Coconut Grove, where the teenagers allegedly abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. "A short foot pursuit was initiated, and both youths were apprehended without further incident," police said. Both teenagers are set to face Darwin Local Court on Monday.

House of the week: Re-imagined classic
A century-old troppo-style home chock-full of character and charm is going under the hammer in Coconut Grove, sitting on the water at the end of a quiet court. The four-bedroom home sits on an 837 sqm block at 33 Martin Cres, Coconut Grove, backing onto a seasonal waterway and close to parklands and walking paths. Selling agent Andrew Harding of Ray White Darwin said the house began its life as a classic railway cottage in Fannie Bay around 1923 and was shaped by the generations of Top Enders who have called it home. 'This residence has evolved into what may be the finest modern Troppo home in Darwin,' he said. 'A seamless fusion of heritage and contemporary design, it stands as a true testament to tropical architecture at its best.' The house was moved to Martin Cres in 1981 before it was extended and renovated, with an upper level added in 1983. The home has banks of louvres, timber floors, exposed timber beams and high ceilings throughout. There is easy indoor-outdoor flow with multiple balconies and outdoor living spaces. A contemporary kitchen has stone sink, black cabinetry and a feature window, while an elevated dining space looks out over the kitchen and living areas. The lounge opens to a small deck and looks out over the pool and lush landscaping. The two oversized bedrooms on this level have private balconies while one has a luxury ensuite with bathtub and treetop views. There is also second living area and family bathroom on this level. Internal stairs lead up to a third bedroom that could be used as a home office or living space. Under the house there is a generous entertaining space, a bathroom and a storeroom. Separate from the house is bungalow with deck and bedroom space. The block has lush tropical gardens, an in-ground pool, electronic gate, pedestrian entry and side access. The home is close to the Nightcliff foreshore, markets, schools and shops and a short drive to the Darwin CBD. Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 3 Carparks: 4 Auction: Wed, May 21, 5.30pm
