An attempt by police to intercept a stolen car in Kingaroy last week ended in failure when the driver began driving dangerously in a bid to get away.
Police conducting mobile patrols last Tuesday (June 11) spotted the stolen Subaru Forester at 12:20am at a business in Youngman Street.
They attempted to intercept the stolen vehicle, but due to dangerous driving by the unknown driver they discontinued the attempt.
Investigations are continuing.
