Police sources confirmed Dreier was the driver. The passenger in the car, a 17-year-old, was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
It will be alleged Dreier, 18, another 18-year-old and the 17-year-old tried to break into a home on Howard Hughes Court, Maudsland about 9am, before a terrified 16-year-old girl, who was home at the time, called the police.
The three men fled the scene in a stolen car when police arrived, before dumping it on Kopps Rd in Oxenford about 9.10am and running into bushland, it is alleged.
An 18-year-old was taken into custody at Movie World. No-one has been charged over the alleged incident.
Police allege Dreier and the 17-year-old stole another car from Movie World about 9.20am and were spotted travelling south on the M1.
It is understood police pursued the car and when it turned the corner from Nerang St onto Queen St, it lost control, hit a power pole and flipped on to its side.
Dreier remains in a critical condition at Gold Coast University Hospital.
