Two boys have been arrested while a third is on the run

One boy went home with a concussion, and another went to hospital with minor injuries while a third is on the run after thieves crash the third stolen car in Toowoomba in three nights.

A 13-year-old boy is under police guard in the Toowoomba Hospital after he was involved in a single-vehicle crash where a stolen Hyundai hit a fence in Newtown

Police are searching for the driver who crashed a stolen car on Hursley Road late on Wednesday, injuring his two passengers.

Emergency services were called to the Newtown crash after reports a red Hyundai i30 had hit a fence.

A 12-year-old boy was located nearby and had suffered minor chest and head injuries, including several broken ribs.

Paramedics transported the boy to the Toowoomba Hospital where he remains under police guard and is yet to be formally charged.

Two other offenders fled the scene.

Police located a 13-year-old boy at his home who had sustained a concussion as a result of the crash.

He was charged with two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and one count of burglary.

The boy was brought before Toowoomba Magistrates Court where he was remanded in custody to reappear in the same court on April 7.

The third remains at large.

“Police are making inquiries to locate the other juvenile, who was the driver,” Toowoomba Detective Senior Sergeant Paul McCusker said.

The Hyundai was stolen from a Wilsonton home about 9.30pm Monday after the thieves entered through an unlocked door, stole a handbag containing the keys and fled in the car.

Sgt McCusker said it was a timely reminder to lock up.

“If you leave your house unlocked and your keys unsecured then you are at risk of becoming a victim and having the inconvenience of having your vehicle stolen and damaged,” he said.

The incident is the third time this week offenders have crashed a stolen car in Toowoomba.

Police spiked the tires of a stolen Subaru Forester in Mort Street after it was observed driving dangerously about 12.30am on Wednesday.

Sheldon William Brown, 18, was charged with 17 offences after allegedly crashing a stolen Honda CRV into a car parked in Catto Street early Tuesday morning.
