The occupants of the vehicle, a 29-year-old male driver and 5-month-old child passenger, sustained minor injuries as a result and required treatment at hospital.

It will be further alleged, the fire extinguisher used in the incident was stolen from a nearby car park on Courage Street, Sippy Downs earlier that night.

A 15-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with 13 offences including three count each of wilful damage and two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.

A 14-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with six offences including two count each of wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm.
