LATEST @ APRIL 4 | Two men have now been charged over a dramatic police pursuit stretching from the Gold Coast to Logan.
Their wild crime spree began in Surfers Paradise early Wednesday morning when they were allegedly involved in an armed robbery at a hotel.
It’s alleged the pair, who were armed with a gun, stole a white Mercedes, as well as a gold chain and $3000 in cash.
PolAir then tracked the stolen vehicle for hours as it sped across the Gold Coast, before heavily armed police swooped on the vehicle in Logan.
A 30-year-old man allegedly behind the wheel was taken into custody, while a 41-year-old man was also arrested nearby in a BMW that was allegedly stolen from a home in Runaway Bay.
Both men have since been hit with a string of charges between them including unlawful and dangerous use of a motor vehicle, along with a number of serious drug offences.
They will front court at a later date.
EARLIER @ APRIL 3 | An armed burglary on the Gold Coast has sparked a wild police pursuit, with two men now in custody.
