Cop hoax: Teen held

A TEENAGER has been arrested after the allegedly stolen car he was driving was rammed by an undercover police vehicle.

The 17-year-old was arrested in Worongary about 8.30am after police rammed the dark grey Subaru he was driving, causing it to crash into a tree.

Police had been searching for the car as part of their investigation into a number of alleged offences in the past month, including impersonating a police officer.

On April 16 around 3pm, the car was seen driving along the M1 southbound near Elysium Drive at Carrara.

The driver was allegedly wearing a Queensland Police Service baseball cap and instructing other motorists to pull over as he drove alongside them. It is understood no drivers complied with the request.

The Subaru is believed to have been stolen from Eden View Drive at Reedy Creek on April 8.

Since its theft, the car has been linked to several offences, including the stealing of two Queensland plates, 263 YBR from a Worongary address and 959 WTW from a Yatala address. Between April 25 and May 5, the car was also involved in at least six alleged dangerous driving offences.
