August 27: NT Police have seized a vehicle that was caught allegedly doing burnouts throughout the Darwin CBD in the early hours of the morning.

CCTV operators tracked the vehicle and it was later stopped during a traffic apprehension and seized by police under anti-hooning legislation.

“If you think you will get away with hooning on our roads, think again,” he said.

“This dangerous behaviour could cost you not only a fine, but also your life or the life of those who share the roads with you.”
