Loganlea man charged after alleged gender reveal stunt caught on camera in Brisbane

A man allegedly behind a gender reveal burnout caught on camera in suburban Brisbane is set to face court.

A Loganlea man is facing baby blues of a different kind after he was allegedly behind the wheel during a baby gender reveal.

Police appealed for the public’s help to identify the driver of a red Holden Commodore VP last month.

It is alleged officers obtained dashcam footage of blue smoke billowing into the air during the stunt at Marsden on September 11.

It is alleged the vision shows a ‘burnout’ on Burrinjuck Street and then Timberlee Drive, creating excessive noise and blue smoke which obstructed the visibility of other motorists.

It is understood there was a group of people gathered nearby taking photos and videos.

The gender reveal has become a common act where parents discover the sex of their expected child via an arranged release of colour, often in front of family and friends, and often in a creative or personalised way.

Gender reveals often use blue coloured streamers, cakes, balloons, dyes – and obviously smoke – to indicate if a family is expecting a boy, and pink if a baby girl is on the way.
