A police dog’s relentless pursuit of a teenage boy wanted for allegedly stealing a car has been captured in wild body cam footage.

Queensland Police arrested five people in Moreton yesterday after tracking a stolen black BMW taken from a Mango Hill home on Wednesday night.

One of those was a 15-year-old who allegedly ran from officers when the car was located in Kippa Ring about 1.30pm on Thursday.

Police dog “Wolf” was used to pursue the boy, with footage released by Queensland Police showing the intense chase that unfolded.

Held on a long leash, Wolf can be seen sprinting down a driveway toward a high wooden fence.

The dog prowls back and forth waiting for its handler, before launching up and over the fence.

After running along a storm drain the dog and officer eventually find the boy they were searching for.

“Get on the ground,” the police officer calls.
