Two people have been charged by police after an alleged joy ride in a stolen Mercedes came to an abrupt end on the Gold Coast.

“Around 9.30am, police were called to Mudgeeraba Road and Worongary Road following a report that a Mercedes-Benz had crashed,” a Queensland Police Service (QPS) spokesman told the Bulletin.

“Upon arrival, police located a female occupant in the vehicle, while a male occupant is alleged to have fled the scene.”

It’s understood the vehicle had lost control, ploughing into a guard rail before crashing into trees.

A number of officers including the dog squad responded to the crash, with police alleging they discovered drug utensils in the vehicle.
