The family, comprising of a man, woman and their three children aged between six and 12, were able to free themselves as it was driven off by the offender. The keys to the car were believed to have been stolen from the caravan park earlier that afternoon.
Both the car and the caravan were later located and recovered by officers. A Queensland Police spokeswoman confirmed to Yahoo on Tuesday morning that so far no arrests have been made.
As investigations continue, anyone with information about the incident has been urged to make themselves known to authorities.
