Jaguar seen driving dangerously on the Gold Coast

AN 18-year-old is among three people charged yesterday after allegedly using a stolen black Jaguar connected to a series of offences across the Gold Coast.

The vehicle was spotted driving dangerously through Coomera around 2.30pm yesterday, having been stolen during a Mermaid Waters burglary on June 13.

Police attempted to block the car at a petrol station on Ashmore Rd in Bundall a short time later, but the driver allegedly used the Jaguar to ram the police vehicle before fleeing.

Video released by police shows the car zooming down a footpath and driving on the wrong side of the road.

The alleged driver eventually abandoned the vehicle in the car park of Australia Fair shopping centre in Southport and fled again, before being arrested inside the centre after a short foot pursuit.

A man and woman who were allegedly passengers have also been taken into custody after attempting to leave the scene in a taxi.
