This is Radio NT. It's 3 o'clock and here is the afternoon news.

Police arrested a thief at 2pm yesterday. The thief knocked out an armoured car driver as he was leaving a pub. The driver usually has a co-driver but was working alone yesterday. The thief stole four bags of money from the driver. However, the bags weighed fifteen kilos each since they all contained pennies. The thief was a small man and the hefty bags slowed him to a stagger as he fled. Bystanders laughed at the sight, and watched as police easily caught the thief before he reached his getaway car.
