Queensland police have charged two teens and two adults following several stolen vehicle incidents around Townsville over the weekend.

Police will allege that a 39-year-old West End woman was approached by two people, not known to her, about 2.30pm on Sunday, who stole her vehicle which was parked along Henry St, Kirwan.

Police tracked the Toyota Camry as it drove dangerously in a convoy with a Ford Ranger utility.

The utility was abandoned along Boundary St with its occupants alleged to have left on foot before entering the Toyota Camry.

Police continued to track the vehicle to Kelso where a tyre deflation device was successfully deployed at approximately 6.30pm.
