A stolen car allegedly driven by two teenagers dangerously weaved through suburban Brisbane streets, over footpaths and narrowly missed pedestrians during a high-speed police pursuit.
The lengthy chase began at 9am but continued for another two hours as police tracked the allegedly stolen white Mercedes Benz sedan through multiple Brisbane suburbs.
The car was used in several "property related offences" in Brisbane, Logan and Ipswich since it was stolen on the night of September 16, police allege.
"The Mercedes was observed by Polair travelling at high speed, at times on the wrong side of the road, overtaking vehicles within the Ipswich area," Queensland Police said.
"Officers attempted to intercept the vehicle in a carpark on John Street, Rosewood at around 10am however the police four-wheel-drive was struck by the car as it fled the scene.
"No one was injured and the police vehicle sustained minor scratch damage to the front bumper."
Police pursued the car through multiple suburbs and used a tyre deflation device to try and stop it as it allegedly cut off other drivers, narrowly avoided collisions and raced through local streets.
Witnesses said the car was seen driving erratically, nearly hitting pedestrians.
"It's almost hitting little girls and other cars in front of it," a witness told 9News.
Around 11.40am, the car was found abandoned in the underground carpark at Collingwood Road shopping centre, Redbank.
Two boys, aged 16 and 18, were arrested at the scene and are currently helping police with inquiries.
Investigations into the movements of the car since it was stolen are ongoing.
