Five boys and a girl have been charged after an allegedly stolen 4WD was driven from Townsville to Cairns yesterday.
Shortly after midday, officers successfully deployed a tyre deflation device on the Bruce Highway at Babinda north of Howard Kennedy Drive.
Five boys, aged 13, 14 and 15, and a 13-year-old girl were arrested a short time later after fleeing the damaged Mitsubishi Pajero.
All have been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and burglary offences and refused police bail to appear in the Cairns Childrens Court.
Police believe the vehicle was stolen from a Campion Circuit address in Kirwan sometime between 2.30pm on Saturday and early yesterday morning.
