A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing a grocery delivery truck and driving dangerously through Jimboomba this morning.
It will be alleged, around 5:20pm yesterday afternoon (March 12) a man stole a five tonne Hino Pantec delivery truck from Anakie Drive in Cornubia.

At 8:30pm, police successfully intercepted the truck on Cusack Lane, where the driver was taken in custody.
A 29-year-old Loganlea man has been charged with four counts of wilful damage of police property and one count each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, driving of a motor vehicle without a drivers licence and fail to dispose of syringe.
