Police said the Rav 4 was stolen from a property in Modbury Heights on April 1 and has been used in several burglaries in the city’s northern and eastern suburbs.
The incident comes after Grant Stevens, South Australia’s police commissioner, agreed to send 20 police officers to the Northern Territory.

Ms Lee said on the FIVEAA breakfast show on Monday that she was baffled by the decision as the state faces its own officer shortage.
“We know how difficult it is to get police to fill the gaps of departing and retiring police officers, and we are sending some of our staff interstate,” Ms Lee said.
Anyone who knows where the two cars are or has any information about the home invasion is asked to contact police immediately.
