A 21-year-old Logan Central man and 14-year-old boy have been charged, following an incident involving an allegedly stolen vehicle at Elimbah in the Moreton Bay region on Monday night.
Around 8.20pm police located a LDV SUV station wagon, allegedly stolen from Coopers Plains on Australia Day, in a carpark on Beerburrum Road.
When officers pulled over near the vehicle, it’s alleged the driver reversed into the police vehicle and drove away.
Polair tracked the vehicle to Beerburrum-Woodford Road, where a Tyre Deflation Device was successfully deployed, puncturing the station wagon’s four tyres.
The vehicle continued onto Beerburrum Road, allegedly driving onto the wrong side of the road, before crashing into a stationary police vehicle at the intersection of Soldier Road.
The station wagon then left the roadway and crashed into a tree.
The four occupants ran from the vehicle and were taken into custody a short time later. They sustained minor injuries and were treated by paramedics.
The Logan Central man has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, evading police and driving without a license.
The teenage boy has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and will appear before Wynnum Children’s Court.
A 41-year-old police officer was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
