Juveniles Nabbed for Vehicle Theft

In a dramatic sequence of events, Queensland Police arrested four juveniles following a vehicle theft in Sunnybank on the evening of June 5, 2026. Authorities charged the youths after they allegedly stole and dangerously operated a blue BYD Shark from a shopping center carpark on McCullough Street around 7:30 pm.

The stolen vehicle was spotted less than an hour later in Woodridge, being driven erratically. A coordinated pursuit ensued across several Brisbane suburbs, culminating in Logan where the police deployed a Tyre Deflation Device to halt the vehicle. Despite attempts to escape, the vehicle eventually lost control on Birun Street, Woodridge, where the arrests took place.

Among those apprehended were a 13-year-old from Eagleby and a 13-year-old from Waterford West, each facing multiple charges including unlawful use of a motor vehicle in company. An 11-year-old from Waterford West was charged with the unlawful use of a motor vehicle and possession of a knife in a public place. A 14-year-old from Kingston was also charged and is due in Brisbane Children’s Court on June 16. The cases will be heard at Beenleigh Children’s Court.

Queensland Police urge anyone with additional information to contact Policelink or report anonymously via Crime Stoppers. The police reference number for this case is QP2601076876.
