Three youth were apprehended for rock throwing in Alice Springs at the weekend.

Police received several reports of rocks being thrown at cars on the Stott Terrace bridge around 11pm on Saturday.

Police officers from the Community Youth Engagement Team and Police Dogs Loki and Freddy arrived on scene where they had rocks thrown at them.

Police Dog Loki located and confronted the offenders who were then apprehended by Police Dog Freddy.

A 16-year-old was arrested and bailed to appear at a later date, and two youth aged 11 and 14-years-old were issued with written warnings and returned to their responsible guardians.
