A dangerous police pursuit ended with the arrest of three men who allegedly stole an Audi and led officers on a wild chase.

Police said the pursuit began overnight on August 8, when the trio allegedly broke into a Faculty Cl property in Smithfield, about 20 minutes north of Cairns, Queensland, and stole a silver 2019 Audi A3.

The luxury vehicle was later spotted being driven dangerously around Mossman and Cairns on the evening of August 10.

According to Queensland Police, the situation escalated about 12.15am on August 11, when officers successfully deployed a tyre deflation device at Kewarra Beach.

The Audi allegedly continued travelling on its rims, before crashing into the door of a police vehicle at the intersection of Kamerunga Rd and Cairns Western Arterial Rd.

The three men — aged 35, 28, and 22 — abandoned the car and ran, but were caught soon after in a dramatic foot chase, captured on police body-worn cameras.

The hectic footage shows officers sprinting, jumping over a vehicle, and commanding the suspects to the ground.

A police dog played a key role in the arrests, with one officer heard praising it repeatedly with “Good boy.”

A 35-year-old Mount Sheridan man has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a vehicle, evading police, and obstructing police.

He was refused bail and appeared in Cairns Magistrates Court on August 11.

A 28-year-old Woree man and a 22-year-old man were also charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and obstructing police.

Both are due to appear in court on August 28.

Investigations are ongoing.
