Police deployed spikes at Pimpama just before 10pm but the car continued, before eventually coming to a stop at Mimbeena Drive at Ormeau, where police say a young boy and a young man began running from officers.

A 14-year-old and an 18-year-old were arrested a short time later with the help of the dog squad.

A 14-year-old Logan Central boy has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a vehicle and driving unlicensed and was expected to appear before Southport Children’s Court today.
