Moreton District police have laid further charges following investigations into the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in Caboolture on 22 October, as part of the ongoing Operation Yankee Tread.
Police allege a black Ford Falcon was observed travelling at high speeds on the Bruce Highway while the occupants leaned out of the window at around 4:20pm.
A 15-year-old Burpengary boy was initially charged with nine offences on 25 October.
Following further investigations, a 20-year-old Upper Caboolture man was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, travel in vehicle with part of body outside window or door, commit public nuisance, and face masked for the commission of an indictable offence.
He is due to face Caboolture Magistrates Court on 23 November.
A 17-year-old Burpengary East boy and a 15-year-old Morayfield girl were also dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
Officer in Charge of Moreton District Tactical Crime Squad, Senior Sergeant Tom Jakes, said since the launch of Operation Yankee Tread in August to target dangerous driving across the district, there has been a significant reduction in hooning complaints.
"These results show we are not only disrupting offender behaviour but also improving road safety outcomes across the Moreton District."

The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on our roads. However, enforcement alone cannot stop all dangerous driving behaviours.
Every choice you make behind the wheel, matters. Driving under the influence, speeding, driving distracted or while fatigued, or not wearing a seatbelt puts your life – and the lives of others – at serious risk. These dangerous behaviours will not be tolerated.
Queenslanders can expect police – anywhere, anytime.
Road safety starts with you.
