Three male teens were chased into the ocean and arrested at Redlands this morning after allegedly stealing a Mercedes.

Residents reported seeing three young males being arrested on Shore St, Cleveland Point at 11am.

They were seen being chased into the water and then taken out by police and onto the street in handcuffs.

Queensland Police said officers took three people into custody after the allegedly stolen car was found.

“Initial investigations indicate a silver 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS250 was allegedly stolen from an Artemis Avenue, Seven Hills address on Sunday evening,” they said.

“The vehicle was observed driving around the Cleveland area this morning before it was allegedly spotted on Shore St.

“Officers arrived a short time later and took three teenagers into custody who are currently assisting police with their enquiries.”

One Redlands resident said on social media they saw teenagers driving a silver Mercedes with face masks on, wearing hoodies and speeding excessively.

Investigations are ongoing.
