A bizarre police chase in which several police cars slowly chase a Mercedes SUV along a stretch of road has come to a dramatic end.
Chase footage shows 10 police cars, including several undercover vehicles, following a Mercedes SUV with a person on its roof along the M1 motorway in the Tweed region of northern New South Wales on Thursday.
The car was tracked for more than 100 km from a location in east Brisbane through the Gold Coast to the New South Wales-Queensland border.
Officers managed to stop the vehicle after deploying spikes in the road, and the driver stopped near Cudgera Creek.
Police arrested a 27-year-old man and two teenagers, ages 17 and 16.
A bizarre chase unfolded on the M1 motorway near the Tweed region, with police chasing a Mercedes SUV that had a person on its roof.
At least 10 police cars, including several undercover vehicles, slowly chased the SUV along the highway.
Queensland Police told Daily Mail Australia the trio were wanted in connection with a home invasion.
“Just before 9:30am, police were called to an address on Shore Street, Cleveland, in connection with a home invasion,” a spokesperson said.
“Two men fled in a Mercedes SUV.”
The spokesman said the vehicle was tracked to the Queensland-New South Wales border by a PolAir helicopter.
“NSW Police successfully deployed a tire deflation device and the Mercedes came to a stop at Cudgera Creek where NSW officers arrested 3 men.”
The man and two teenagers were taken to Tweed Heads Police Station following their arrest. They are helping the police with investigations.
More to come.
