Police gave chase but were forced to twice use tyre deflation devices (TDD).
The first deployment resulted in just one tyre being deflated and the vehicle continued travelling towards Albany Creek, where a second TDD was deployed deflating the remaining tyres.
The vehicle continued north along Keong Rd, Albany Creek, where it crashed into a guard rail at the intersection with Albany Creek Rd about 12.50am.
Two teenagers, a male and female, fled the vehicle and were located a short time later by police officers.
Police will allege the blue sedan was stolen during a break-in of a home in Bertha St, Kalinga, in the early hours of Thursday morning, July 25.
They also allege there was a link to the break in of a home in Advanx St, Kenmore Hills, between 8am and 6pm Thursday where property, including computer tablets and jewellery, was stolen.
Two teenagers have been charged.
