It comes following multiple incidents in the East Arm area, with authorities flagging it as a hooning hot spot.

Senior Sergeant Dev Kanyilmaz says hooning behaviour is dangerous and will not be tolerated, with vehicles subject to seizure and further penalties under Territory law.

“Police will continue to target dangerous driving behaviour. Hooning is reckless, irresponsible and puts the community at risk. If you choose to endanger others, you can expect to lose your vehicle.”
