Brisbane Queensland: Two teenage boys, aged 14 and 17, charged with botched armed robbery after wild 150km, three-hour car chase in an allegedly stolen Hyundai Kona

Two teenagers allegedly led police on a high-speed, 150-mile, three-hour car chase after a botched armed robbery at a convenience store.

The two teenagers, aged 14 and 17, are accused of threatening a store employee with a gun at Slacks Creek in Brisbane at 5pm on Thursday.

They allegedly fled empty-handed after the store employee pressed an alarm button and fled in a red Hyundai Kona that was reported stolen the day before.

The car was spotted four hours later on the Pacific Highway at Elenora, then followed from the sky by the PolAir police helicopter as it sped north.

After passing the Gateway Highway in Logan and then onto the Bruce Highway, police placed tire studs when the car exited at Caboolture.

But despite the vehicle’s tires bursting, the pair reportedly continued driving for another 80km as they headed south on rims to Brisbane.

The vehicle returned to the Bruce Highway and traveled south to the Gateway Highway and the Pacific Highway.

The vehicle exited onto Kingston Road and headed towards Browns Plains Road where it eventually stopped on Kao Street in Marsden.

The two teenagers allegedly fled but were arrested by the police around 11:45 p.m.

“A 17-year-old and a 14-year-old boy, both from Logan, have been charged with property crimes including attempted armed robbery, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and unlawful possession with a category A firearm,” a police spokesperson said. .

“Investigations continue.”
