Three Arrested After Armed Robbery Allegations and Police Chase in Brisbane - Brisbane, QLD
Smart summary
Queensland Police arrest three people following an alleged armed robbery, a home invasion and a dramatic pursuit involving a helicopter across Brisbane suburbs.
Three people have been arrested following a series of alleged criminal incidents and a dramatic police pursuit across Brisbane's western and southern suburbs.
The incidents occurred on Friday, 30 October 2026, and the arrests and court proceedings were reported on Saturday, 31 October.
According to police allegations, a man and a woman were involved in an attempted armed robbery in Sunnybank Hills before allegedly entering a residential property in Kuraby.
During the second incident, the pair allegedly threatened a woman with a knife and attempted to steal a vehicle. The incidents prompted police to launch an investigation and search for the suspects.
The two alleged offenders reportedly escaped using a black Haval H6 vehicle. Police later alleged that the vehicle had been stolen from a car wash on Brisbane Road in Goodna on 28 October.
At approximately 5 pm on Friday, police spotted the vehicle in the Waterford area. Officers began following it, while a Polair helicopter was deployed to monitor its movements from above.
The vehicle allegedly travelled through several Brisbane suburbs, including Forest Lake, Sumner Park, Corinda, Indooroopilly, Toowong and Taringa.
The pursuit continued as police monitored the vehicle and coordinated their response. Officers eventually deployed tyre-deflation devices in Milton at approximately 6:13 pm.
The vehicle continued moving before coming to a stop on Gailey Road in St Lucia at approximately 6:20 pm.
Police arrested all three occupants of the vehicle, including two women and one man.
The arrested individuals were identified as a 24-year-old man from Forest Lake, a 26-year-old woman from Morningside and a 22-year-old woman from Kingston.
Police subsequently laid multiple charges against the three individuals in connection with the alleged incidents.
The 26-year-old woman and 22-year-old woman faced charges including armed robbery, entering premises with intent, stealing and offences involving the alleged unlawful use of motor vehicles.
The 24-year-old man faced 12 charges, including alleged armed robbery, stealing, unlawful entry, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
The two women were scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday, 31 October.
The 24-year-old man was also brought before the court. He was remanded in custody after not applying for bail and is expected to return to Brisbane Magistrates Court on 16 November 2026.
Police have been investigating the alleged offences and the circumstances surrounding the pursuit.
The incident involved multiple police units and aerial support, highlighting the coordination required when officers pursue vehicles suspected of being connected to serious offences.
Authorities have not indicated that the court proceedings represent findings of guilt. The allegations will be dealt with through the criminal justice system.
The case has attracted attention because of the number of alleged offences, the use of a stolen vehicle and the extensive police operation across Brisbane.
