Police have charged a 31-year-old man following an incident which concluded in Petrie overnight.
Around 7pm last night (January 4) a silver utility was seen at a Chermside shopping centre on Gympie Road with police wishing to speak with the driver in relation to the alleged theft of a motorcyle.
A short time later Polair 2 picked up the vehicle travelling northbound on Carseldine Road towards Linkfield Road in Brendale.
Around 7:30pm the male passenger has exited the ute on Curlew Court at Kurwongbah.
Not long after, the driver evaded a tyre deflation device on Kurrajong Street at speed, before driving over a second set deployed on Samsonvale Road.
The vehicle came to a stop in nearby Youngs Crossing Creek where the driver fled on foot.
He was arrested without incident just before 8pm at the corner of Dayboro and Youngs Crossing roads sustaining a small laceration to his hand.
The man was charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving a motor vehicle without a licence and evasion of police.
He has also been charged over the alleged theft of a motorcycle in Chermside yesterday (January 4).
The Morayfield man is expected to appear before the Caboolture Magistrates Court at a later date.
The 29-year-old man believed to be the passenger in the vehicle was arrested at a North Lakes address just before 2am this morning and has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
He is due to face the Pine Rivers Magistrates Court tomorrow.
