A Darwin business has been raided by police investigating alleged fraud relating to a pensioner travel concession scheme.

Detective Superintendent Travis Wurst said in a statement that the raid was part of an ongoing investigation into the fraud which has seen businesses in Katherine and Alice Springs raided, with two women charged.

"Police executed a warrant at a business in Darwin, where evidence was collected to assist us with our inquiries," he said.

"Investigations are ongoing, and no arrests were made at this time."

In December last year, Darwin travel agent and former Crime Stoppers NT chair Xana Kamitsis was jailed for defrauding the scheme of more than $120,000.

She also pleaded guilty to corruption charges relating to travel and benefits given to Paul Mossman, former chief of staff to Housing Minister Bess Price.
