Police have charged two teenage boys after allegedly driving two stolen cars on the Gold Coast.

A convoy of kids – allegedly in stolen cars – have led police on a dangerous dash across the Gold Coast spanning several hours and multiple suburbs.

“A 15-year-old male driver of that vehicle. He’s been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. And the 13 year old passenger was also charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle.”

Acting Supt Piket said she was unable to say if the juveniles were known to police but confirmed the boys from Pimpama and Elanora were refused bail to face Southport Children’s Court on Monday morning.
