Police have now charged two teenage boys following a Police chase in a stolen car across the Gold Coast, with Police alleging one of them was intoxicated behind the wheel.
A Skoda Kodiaq was first spotted on the M1 at Helensvale just after 12.30pm on Monday before being tracked across several suburbs by Polair to Southport.
Officers successfully deployed tyre spikes but the vehicle continued driving, allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road while heading back towards the motorway.
Police say a low-speed pursuit was initiated but it was terminated two minutes later.
It’s also alleged the Skoda deliberately swerved into an unmarked Police car.
The chase eventually came to an end on the M1 at Pimpama where a 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy were taken into custody.
The incident caused traffic mayhem with the left-hand lane of the motorway blocked for some time.
A 17-year-old Marsden boy has since been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and will appear before Southport Childrens Court.
A 15-year-old Pimpama boy has been charged with 13 offences including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance, evade police and five counts of enter premises and commit indictable offence by break-in.
He will also appear before Southport Childrens Court.
Police allege the Skoda was stolen during a break-in at an address in the Brisbane suburb of Paddington on the morning of September 23.
A 15-year-old boy has also been charged in relation to that break-in and a series of other alleged crimes including nine counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and five counts of burglary.
In total, the teen is facing 27 charges and is due to front Brisbane Childrens Court.
A 14-year-old Zillmere boy has also been charged with two counts of fraud and one count each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, attempted enter dwelling, receiving tainted property, stealing of a vehicle and enter premises and commit indictable offence.
Police are investigating whether the vehicle has been used in other offences across the southeast over the last few days and are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with dashcam to contact them.
