Seven teenagers accused of stealing luxury cars across Brisbane and leading police on a high-speed pursuit have been arrested.
Police today pounced on an apartment block on Toowong, where six of the seven people had allegedly been hiding out, and took them into custody.
The group is accused of stealing a Mercedes, Bentley Jaguar and BMW during a crime spree overnight, resulting in a police chase that started around 11am today.
Authorities tracked the white Mercedes from Deagon to Eagle Farm, in Brisbane's north, after the group had allegedly moved more than 25km away from Stretton — where the vehicle is believed to have been stolen along with a BMW.
The family, selling the multi- million-dollar apartment in Toowong claim the teens visited the property yesterday during an open home before returning around 1am to break in via a side door.
Police were able to track the teens using a tracking device fitted to the BMW.
Seven juveniles tonight remain in custody and are in talks with detectives as they face a long list of serious charges.
The owners and locations from where the Bentley and Jaguar were stolen remain unknown.
