A 26-year-old man has been charged following an incident this afternoon where he allegedly stole a taxi from the Sunshine Coast and drove it to Toowoomba.
It will be alleged the unoccupied taxi had been parked at a driver drop off point in Caloundra when it was stolen around 11am.
Around 1pm the taxi’s GPS tracking indicated it was on the Warrego Highway and PolAir 2 was deployed and tracked the vehicle through Toowoomba.
The driver pulled into the car park of a shopping centre on the corner of Ramsay and South streets where he was taken into custody.
A 26-year-old Noosaville man was charged with one count each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, wilful damage and failing to comply with the requirements of a Class C learners licence.
He is due to appear in the Toowoomba Magistrates Court tomorrow.
