Man Arrested After Stealing Car and Leading Police on Chase

A man was arrested after allegedly stealing a car and driving on the wrong side of a highway at Ripley, southwest of Brisbane, on Saturday, November 18.

Police spotted the Booval man, 24, driving a black ute on the wrong side of Cunningham Highway at about 10:20 pm on Saturday. A tyre deflation device did not stop the driver, who led police on a car chase from Redbank Plains to Bruce Highway. The man then abandoned the car and fled. He can be seen in this police helicopter footage climbing a brick wall before being apprehended by police.
