Queensland Police have taken a man into custody on a rooftop following an incident involving a stolen vehicle in Ipswich this morning.
Just before 8.40am, officers were called to Pine Mountain Road, Brassall, after reports a stolen Honda HR-V struck the rear of a Hyundai I40.
“The stolen Honda fled the scene prior to police arrival,” Queensland Police said in a statement.
“Ipswich police, with assistance from Polair, tracked the stolen Honda throughout Ipswich, before a Tyre Deflation Device (TDD) was successfully deployed, causing the vehicle to come to a stop on Quarry Street.
“The driver and sole occupant, a 20-year-old Brassall man, fled the scene on foot and climbed onto the roof of a property, where he was subsequently arrested.”
It will be alleged the vehicle attempted to evade police a number of times, resulting in several police vehicles being damaged due to impact.
No significant injuries were reported, and investigations are ongoing.
