Man attempts to swim away from police after stolen Ford Ranger crashes into home

Police have arrested a 28-year-old Caboolture man after a stolen Ford Ranger crashed into a house in Golden Beach on the Sunshine Coast on Monday 1 July.

The driver fled the scene but was found in the Pumicestone Passage, swimming towards Pelican Waters.

The man then climbed into a boat, and then a second boat, where he made threats.

Specialist police engaged with the man and arrested him without incident.

Police were initially called to reports of the crash on Anning Avenue, Golden Beach around 5.35am involving a ute that was allegedly stolen from a Wurtulla address the same morning.

No one was injured during the crash, however the house and a car parked at the residence were damaged.

Investigations are ongoing.
