Police spotted the stolen vehicle travelling from Carrara to West Burleigh on June 7, triggering a major response involving ground crews and the PolAir helicopter.

The chase came to an end about 4pm when officers intercepted the BMW on Tallebudgera Creek Rd in West Burleigh, police said.

A 17-year-old girl behind the wheel was taken into custody and charged with several serious offences including stealing a car with others at night, dangerous driving, breaking into a home, and theft.
