Chaos on the Bruce Highway: Police Car Jacking and Car Theft Spree
Eight individuals, including a nineteen-year-old man and an eighteen-year-old woman, along with six juveniles, are in custody following a wild theft on the Bruce Highway in north Queensland. The group allegedly jacked a police car from the roadside while officers were pulling over two stolen vehicles. This incident was part of a larger spree where four more cars were stolen on Monday, all connected to the same crew. Police managed to track down and stop several of the stolen vehicles, including a blue Ford Ranger, a grey BMW, an orange LDV T60 utility, and a white MG. Locals captured the action on Facebook as police chased the group through rural backroads. Senior Townsville district officers are reviewing how the police vehicle was taken. The arrests mark the end of a chaotic spree that had everyone on edge.
