Man carjacked at knifepoint on Sunshine Coast, sparking 160km police chase
Two men have been charged over an alleged carjacking on the Sunshine Coast.
Police say a man threatened a 55-year-old man with a knife and demanded his car keys at a shopping centre on David Low Way just before 6:30pm on Monday.
Officers tracked the vehicle with the help of a police helicopter, then used tyre spikes to slow the vehicle at Ebbw Vale.
Police say the vehicle was abandoned in Bundamba, where the driver fled on foot.
A 26-year-old Mount Coolum man was arrested shortly after.
He has been charged with armed robbery and unlawful use of a motor vehicle and is due to face court in Ipswich this morning.
A 29-year-old Yarrabilba man, who police say was sitting in the car when they arrived, has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
He was released on bail and is due to face court later this month.
