A woman has been charged with allegedly setting fire to a police car
during the riots in Alice Springs on Thursday night.
Police have since charged a Northern Territory woman after she allegedly used a lighter to set fire to dried grass underneath a police car about 10.40pm Saturday.
The woman was arrested at the scene and officers tried to extinguish the flames before it caused any more damage.
“Despite this, the vehicle sustained about
$20,000 damage
as the unrest continued,” a police statement read.
She has since been charged with one count of attempted arson and one count of taking part in a riot.
She remains in custody and is due to face court next week.
Police expect more arrests and charged to be laid as the investigations into the riot continues.

$20,000 damage? And the rest.
It was gutted by fire - it would be a total write off.
Those Toyota hilux Police paddy wagons cost up to $130,000.
