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.

The three gang members being brought to the Klang magistrates' court today. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Three members of 'Geng Along Jep', a gang believed to be involved in vehicle thefts around Selangor, were charged in the Klang magistrates' court today with possessing and concealing stolen property. Bernama reported that the charges were read separately before magistrates' court assistant registrar Wan Kushairi Wan Roslei against Tomi Andhika Kosnanto, 25, Haffi Mohamad, 40, and Razahin Zalan, 25. Tomi and Haffi each faced two charges, while Razahin was charged with one count. Tomi pleaded not guilty to a charge of robbing a 54-year-old woman of her car in Teluk Gadong Besar, Klang, on March 19. The charge under Section 392 of the Penal Code for robbery carries a maximum jail term of 14 years and the offender is also liable to a fine or whipping upon conviction. Tomi also claimed trial to a second charge of dishonestly concealing a stolen motorcycle in Taman Raja Uda on Dec 28, 2024. The offence under Section 414 of the Penal Code for assisting in concealment of stolen property provides for a jail term of up to seven years and a fine. Meanwhile, Haffi pleaded guilty to two charges, one of concealing a stolen car at an apartment on Jalan Batu Nilam on April 11 and another of possessing a vehicle chassis on April 23. He was charged under Section 414 of the Penal Code and Section 29(1) of the Minor Offences Act 1955, which carries a maximum jail term of seven years and a fine for the first offence, and a maximum fine of RM1,000 or imprisonment of up to two years or both for the second. Razahin also pleaded guilty to a charge of concealing a stolen car in Kampung Rantau Panjang, Klang, on April 19. He was charged under Section 414 of the Penal Code. Deputy public prosecutors Sulfie Abu Hassan and Nur Nadia Syuhada Rosli appeared for the prosecution, while all three accused were represented by National Legal Aid Foundation lawyer James Chan. The prosecution offered bail amounts ranging from RM1,000 to RM7,000, but the defence appealed for lower bail, citing their clients' lack of stable income, dependency on their families and need to care for elderly parents. The court later allowed bail between RM2,500 and RM6,000 for each accused and set case mention dates for June 11, 23 and 30.
