NSW Police have arrested three teenagers and a fourth is on the run after a pursuit from Queensland stopped in Tweed Heads South this afternoon, NSW Police say.
Shortly before 4pm (Monday 24 Friday 1 July 2016), NSW Police were advised by Queensland POLAIR that a stolen vehicle they were monitoring was approaching the border at Numibah.
Officers were able to deploy a tyre deflation device at Stotts Creek, which punctured the Skoda’s two passenger side tyres.
The vehicle continued and officers initiated a pursuit.
At Tweed Heads South, the car stopped on Minjungbal Drive after hitting a Nissan Patrol and four males fled on foot.
Officers established a perimeter at a nearby shopping centre and three teens, two aged 15 and a 16-year-old, were arrested with the assistance of the Police Dog Unit.
Despite a search of the shopping centre and the surrounds, police were unable to locate a fourth male.
The trio were taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and remain in custody.
Two officers were injured during a foot pursuit and taken to hospital for treatment.
Inquiries continue.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
