A woman was arrested after allegedly driving a stolen car with drugs inside to answer bail at a police station in the Northern Territory.

Police said the 20-year-old woman went to Casuarina Police Station as part of her bail conditions, but was arrested before getting to the front counter.

“An eagle-eyed officer noticed the vehicle she drove to the station was listed as stolen,” police said in a statement.

“The female did not possess a valid licence and a search of the vehicle by detectives from Strike Force Trident uncovered an amount of methamphetamine,” the statement said.

The woman was issued a raft of new charges, and was again given bail, and is due to appear before Darwin Magistrates Court next year.
