Footage of a dramatic arrest in Brisbane’s sewers has been released, after police investigating a break-in in an up-market inner-city suburb followed the group underground.

Footage of a bizarre arrest has been released showing police arresting a group of teens who they allege fled to an underground drainage system after breaking into multiple homes in upmarket suburbs in inner-north Brisbane.

Three teenage boys were taken into custody after they were allegedly involved in multiple break and enters and attempted break and enters in Paddington, Auchenflower and Red Hill on Sunday and Monday.

The arrests came after police were conducting patrols around 1.30am on Monday, after a Lexus and Land Rover were reported stolen from a home on Annie Street.

The cars were tracked to Herston and a tyre deflation device was deployed. The vehicles were eventually abandoned near Northey Street at Wilston.

A 16-year-old boy from Alexandra Hills was taken into custody, while three people allegedly left on foot into parkland.
