Qld: Man in custody after Sunshine Coast chase
BRISBANE, Dec 8 AAP - A 28-year-old man is in custody after a manhunt on the Sunshine Coast.
Roadblocks were set up and cars searched after police tried to pull over a driver for
questioning on the Glasshouse Mountains Tourist Drive around 11.30am (AEST).
The red sedan failed to stop and police started but ended a brief pursuit a short time
later, concerned about way the car was being driven.
Police searched nearby houses, cars and properties and at one stage police were told
the wanted man could have been in a car on the Bruce Highway.
Two occupants of the car were dragged from the vehicle in front of startled motorists
before the wanted man was found in a caravan park at the Glasshouse Mountains.
It is alleged he was in possession of a firearm and a balaclava.
No charges have yet been laid.
Police have refused to confirm reports the man and his associates were part of a bikie gang.
