Three teenagers have been charged after an alleged stolen car failed to stop for police on the Warrego Highway near Gatton this morning.
It will be alleged around 9.50am police attempted to intercept a black BMW hatchback along the Warrego Highway at the Gatton Bypass, however the vehicle drove away at high speed.
Vehicle checks determined the car had allegedly been stolen either Wednesday night or early Thursday morning from Aroona on the Sunshine Coast.
The car then slowed down as it travelled through Helidon and a 17-year-old man allegedly fled the vehicle and was arrested.
A passenger of the stolen car has then moved into the driver’s seat and again accelerated away at speed on the Warrego Highway.
Police successfully deployed a tire deflation device at Helidon around 10.10am. The car was followed on the Warrego Highway at low speed before allegedly side swiping a police vehicle and stopping about 20 minutes
