A man was arrested and charged for leading law enforcement on a pursuit through the Gold Coast on May 31, with Queensland Police dispatching a helicopter to track the stolen car.

Around 6.40 pm on Thursday night a car with NSW registration plates, confirmed to be stolen, was seen in Parkwood and as police tried to stop the driver he drove away. The helicopter tracked the car to Southport where a man was arrested after he abandoned the vehicle near Marine Parade and tried to escape on foot.
