At about 9am on Saturday Queensland Police officers saw the allegedly stolen blue Mitsubishi ASX near Finucane Rd and Allenby Rd in Alexandra Hills.

While one officer attempted to gain access to the vehicle another two remained inside the police car, with the driving officer pulling in front of the vehicle as it attempted to drive forward and escape.

Caught between the police car and an adjacent concrete truck, the driver of the allegedly stolen car tries to push in between the two vehicles and ends up pinned with both wheels on the left side of the car off the ground.
