Police have arrested four children and are still on the hunt for another suspect after a car was allegedly stolen from a shopping centre in Broadbeach.

A police helicopter (PolAir) monitored a white Mercedes-Benz, which was initially spotted in Broadbeach at around 2pm Tuesday afternoon.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson confirmed four people were taken into custody at around 3pm when the vehicle was stopped at Little Usher St in Southport.

The four who were arrested exited the vehicle but another person has driven off from the scene with the car later found abandoned.

A 12-year-old, two 13-year-olds and a 16-year-old are expected to be charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle among other offences.

Police investigations continue.
