ROAD spikes, knives to throats, stolen cars, ramming cop cars, break and enters, tyres shot out and empty grog bottles. Here are seven of the city’s more bizarre police pursuits:
20-hour police chase
A GOLD Coast man was high on drugs, including ice, when he led police on a 20-hour pursuit which included him cutting off a tram and mounting footpaths.
It only ended when police set down road spikes and then rammed Cameron Scott Noad’s car with two police vehicles.
Police spotted Noad “behaving strangely”, yelling and honking his horn in the car park of Gold Coast University Hospital about 1am.
Fire stops chase
A GOLD Coast man held a knife to a stranger’s throat, forced him to walk around his home naked, threatened to cut his finger off and pocketed his credit cards before leading police on a high speed chase.
Boady James Davis stole two cars and led police on a 20-minute chase at speeds up to 155km/h through Biggera Waters, Labrador and Southport. The 20-year-old, who did not have a driver’s licence, only stopped when the stolen car caught alight.
Drug binge leads to $63k damage
AN ice addict took just 10 days to steal and damage more than $63,000 worth of cars and other items across the Gold Coast. His spree quickly turned into a 90-minute police chase.
Daniel Julian Carrington racked up 41 charges, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, breaking and entering and stealing, in just six weeks in July and August last year.
A majority of those crimes were committed in just 10 days until he was arrested when he hit a police car during an almost hour-long chase.
JUDGE: SOCIETY NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED FROM YOU
“Worst” case of dangerous driving
A WELDER rammed two police cars and caused another to flip in “one of the worst cases of dangerous driving”.
Benjamin Edward Christensen’s night of drunken hooning included a two-hour police chase that damaged three cop cars and left two officers with minor injuries.
Five times the limit and running from cops
A GOLD Coast woman was five times the legal alcohol limit and sending a text message when she refused to stop for police.
She only pulled up when she clipped a tree and collided with a house.
Lisa Gai Pickett was also found with empty wine bottles in her car but claims she had only consumed three quarters of one of the bottles.
Spikes ignored
AN ICE addict led police on a high-speed chase through Labrador in a stolen Mitsubishi Lancer that ended when he crashed into a police car and a mailbox, a court was told.
Dean Robert Warburton’s joy ride sparked a manhunt following a number of triple-0 calls from concerned motorists on June 16 last year regarding a car speeding and driving into oncoming traffic, a court was told.
Chase ends in tyre shooting
A SERIAL car thief rammed two police cars with a stolen Land Cruiser trying to escape from police in a Coomera shopping centre car park, forcing officers to shoot out the tyres.
Mitchell Craig Kiehne caused more than $14,000 worth of damage during the rampage, which left shoppers and police officers fearing for their lives about 4.40pm on March 13, 2018.
It was the thirteenth time the 23-year-old had been caught with a stolen car.
