A Logan teen has been charged with more than 10 hooning offences for an alleged wild and dangerous spree, a court has heard.
Astin James Barton, 19, faced Beenleigh Magistrates Court on June 1.
The Crestmead teen was charged with eight counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle and one count of unlawful photographing, filming or publishing for racing, burn out or other hooning offence.

Police alleged the offences occurred in Crestmead between January 22 and April 20 this year.

“The matter needs to be adjourned for case conferencing and to get his traffic and criminal history,” he said.
“It will invariably involve case conferencing, these are serious charges.”
