Police have arrested and charged two teenage boys following a series of alleged property and traffic offences that took place between Eight Mile Plains and Woolloongabba yesterday.
Police will allege that around 1.45am, two silver Mercedes-Benz cars and a white Toyota Landcruiser were stolen during a burglary at Sungold Place, Eight Mile Plains.
A short time later, one of the stolen Mercedes-Benz, a silver hatchback, was involved in a crash on Victor Street.
The offenders left the area on-foot before police arrived.
Around noon, the stolen Landcruiser was seen by police on Compton Road, Calamvale.
Police used unmarked vehicles and Polair to monitor the vehicle as it was driven into Brisbane City and then back southbound on the Pacific Motorway.
