“A tyre deflation device was successfully deployed on Brisbane Road at Dinmore at 11.10pm.”
The car then returned to the motorway, heading inbound before stopping at Wacol.
“A 13-year-old male driver and the five occupants were taken into police custody,” police said.
A 13-year-old boy has been charged with one count each of dangerous operation of a vehicle, unlawful use of motor vehicle and evade police.
