Two teenagers are among four people who have been charged with a string of offences following an alleged crime spree on the Gold Coast.
Police allege a 15-year-old boy stole a 2023 black BMW IX whilst it was parked at a shopping centre in Southport with the keys still inside last week.
Officers caught up with him on Saturday and he was charged with one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
However, the stolen BMW wasn’t found until yesterday, when police spotted the vehicle parked at Council Chambers in Surfers Paradise.
Officers sparked a foot chase with a teenage girl and two men, with one of the men jumping into a lake to try and avoid arrest.
They were eventually caught and have been charged with multiple offences.
A 17-year-old girl from Varsity Lakes is facing one count each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, possessing dangerous drugs and possessing drug utensils.
While a 28-year-old Macleay Island man and 27-year-old Tweed Heads man have been charged with one count each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and three counts of possessing dangerous drugs.
