An incident took place in Strathpine, leaving one teenager with charges, another in hospital, and a third still at large. The Queensland Police Service website confirms that the incident involved a stolen vehicle and resulted in a collision that has sparked a police investigation.

According to authorities, a Ford Falcon carrying three young people crashed into a tree on Maree Street, Strathpine, around 2:15 a.m. on 8 January. The vehicle had allegedly been stolen from a residence on Knight Street in Redcliffe.
Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene, where they discovered two teenagers near the wreckage. Both were transported to the Queensland Children’s Hospital with relatively minor injuries; one sustained a head injury, while the other suffered leg injuries.

Police were able to apprehend a 14-year-old girl from Redcliffe at the scene. She has since been charged with unlawful motor vehicle use and is scheduled to appear before the Pine Rivers Children’s Court on January 20th.
However, the third occupant of the vehicle managed to evade authorities and remains at large. Police are conducting a thorough investigation and are appealing to the public for any information that might assist in locating the missing individual.
This incident has highlighted the ongoing issue of youth crime in the region. While authorities continue to address these concerns, the incident in Strathpine reminds the community of its complex challenges.
