UPDATE, 2pm: THE teenager alleged to have been driving a stolen car involved in the death of Jennifer Board as been identified.
Gregory Clubb, 18, was arrested at Rasmussen this morning after more than three days on the run since Ms Board’s death on Friday night.
It’s alleged that Clubb was the driver of a Hyundai being dangerously chased by a Holden Statesman, which lost control and hit Ms Board after ramming the rear of the stolen vehicle.
Another 18-year-old man believed to have been in the stolen car at the time was also arrested this morning.
The Townsville Bulletin understands that Clubb and his friends drove another stolen car to Cairns on Sunday after dumping the stolen Hyundai at Garbutt just an hour after the crash.
They allegedly broke into at least two homes in Mt Sheridan and White Rock, evaded police at Parramatta Park and returned south.
The stolen vehicle was allegedly found dumped in Innisfail this morning, but another vehicle was stolen from Mundoo which was allegedly driven back to Townsville prior to the arrests.
Two teenage girls – aged 14 and 15 – were understood to have been arrested in Innisfail.
Police sighted the car in Townsville this morning, and eventually cornered Clubb inside a Rasmussen house.
Around 8.40am, police arrested Clubb in Pinnacle Dr, Rasmussen.
Around 9.25am, police arrested the second man at an address in Josephine Cres, Rasmussen.
