Dangerous operation appeal at Mooloolaba, QLD

Police are appealing for information to locate the driver of a black Mitsubishi Outlander seen speeding along Mooloolaba Esplanade yesterday before crashing into parked cars.

Around 3:14pm police patrolling Brisbane Road at Mooloolaba noticed the SUV driving in an erratic manner and attempted to pull it over.

As the officer approached the vehicle the driver accelerated away before making a left hand turn onto Mooloolaba Esplanade and travelled against the flow of traffic.

The vehicle then side-swiped a parked sedan before travelling through a garden bed, onto the footpath and through two steel bollards narrowly missing a number of pedestrians.

The SUV then continued onto Brisbane Road and was located abandoned a short time later on Tawarri Crescent.
