A wild series of events has ended with two teenage boys in custody after a dramatic lake chase involving a stolen Queensland Police vehicle.

The chaos unfolded at Lake Barambah near Moffatdale in Queensland’s South Burnett about 11.30am on Saturday, June 21, when police responded to reports of a break-in at a Meddletons Road property.

A number of watercraft had allegedly been stolen from the rural address.

Officers used a member of the public’s boat to reach the two teens on Bjelke Peterson Dam.

The boys, aged 16 and 15, were found on the water and arrested.

But as officers returned to shore with the teens, one allegedly fled and took off in a marked Queensland Police vehicle.

Police attempted to intercept the stolen Toyota Hilux near Murgon, but the vehicle was driven into a creek and became bogged.

The boy then fled on foot and jumped into a nearby dam, where he was taken into custody a short time later.

The police vehicle sustained some damage.

The 16-year-old from Acacia Ridge has been hit with 21 charges, including unlawfully using a motor vehicle, dangerously operating a vehicle, escaping lawful custody, obstructing police, break and enter, wilful damage, and stealing.

The 15-year-old boy from Inala has been charged with more than 10 offences, including unlawful use of a vehicle, break and enter, and intent to commit an indictable offence.

Both teens were refused police bail and are due to appear in the Kingaroy Children’s Court on June 23.
