Police have arrested six juveniles who face more than sixty charges following a raft of alleged property crime offences on Brisbane's southside this morning, Sunday November 27.
Investigators will allege the group stole a maroon 2012 Toyota Kluger from a Hanover Street, MacGregor address on Wednesday November 23 allegedly using it in the commission of seven alleged robberies in Robertson, Tarragindi and Carindale today.
Investigators will allege the crimes occurred between 6am and 8.45am with the group threatening multiple people with a hammer in a bid to have them hand over their car keys.
No one was injured.
Just before 9am a resident in Pelham Street, Coorparoo observed the Toyota behaving suspiciously and contacted police. Responding officers tracked the vehicle and will allege the occupants fled at speed.
