A Sippy Downs man has been charged for a string of offences after tyre spikes were used to curb his hours-long spree of alleged dangerous driving actions.

The 25-year-old man was arrested and charged on Saturday night after allegedly driving dangerously through Browns Plains.

Police first noticed a silver Holden Commodore driving along Browns Plains Road without registration plates at 5.30pm with the vehicle then allegedly performing a burnout and accelerating away when officers tried to intercept.

Polair monitored the car throughout the Logan area.

About 6.30pm, the man allegedly parked the car at a shopping centre in Boronia Heights, before stealing a white Jeep from the carpark.

Tyre spikes were then used, causing the Jeep to come to a halt on Chambers Flat Road with the man subsequently arrested.

The 25-year-old Sippy Downs man was charged with two counts each of dangerous operation of a vehicle while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

He has also been charged with one count each of evasion, burglary and driving a car without registration plates.

He has been denied police bail and is scheduled to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Tuesday, May 4.
