Security ramps up at NT juvenile detention

SECURITY at a Darwin juvenile detention centre will be boosted after a breakout by two teens, who remain on the run.

ADULT prison guards will be brought into Darwin's juvenile detention centre after a core group of rioters smashed up the centre, with two escapees remaining at large.

AT about 6.30pm on Sunday, four teens jammed the locks in a maximum security yard of the Don Dale Juvenile Detention Centre before breaking through the building into another yard to collect another two detainees, and then trashing the education room.
