Blokes smash their OWN ute to stop a thief dead in his tracks
Their ute gets stolen from a worksite, they track it down for hours and finally spot it back on the street… but what they do next turns into full chaos. Not just for them, for the whole neighbourhood. And now, one of them is facing charges. The thief? Still out there.
Their ute gets stolen from a worksite, they track it down for hours and finally spot it back on the street… but what they do next turns into full chaos. Not just for them, for the whole neighbourhood. And now, one of them is facing charges. The thief? Still out there.
CCTV footage captured the moment the blokes went to work on their own ute.
It starts like every site bloke's worst nightmare.
A white Holden ute allegedly gets knocked off from a worksite in Yeronga. But these blokes were not about to sit around filing a report and hoping for the best. They went looking themselves.
Three hours of driving around. At 9:30pm, they reportedly clock it — still being cruised around by the alleged thief like nothing happened.
That is where smoko ends and the chaos begins.
According to reports, they ram the Holden with their own black Ford. Then jump out, bats in hand, and reportedly go to work on their own ute for a solid three minutes… while the bloke who took it is still sitting inside.
Windows. Doors. Mirrors. All of it.
“They wrecked their own ute to stop him.”
When it stops being about the ute
The alleged thief eventually gets loose, the Holden punches straight through a family's front fence in Rochedale South and the bloke legs it into the dark.
Police flood in. Dog squad out. Both utes get seized off the street.
The family whose fence copped it? A nearby resident told media she walked outside to the sound of tyres and bats. Her husband pointed out their son had been playing in that exact front yard just hours earlier.
The bloke who allegedly nicked the ute? Gone. Still at large.
And now the bill lands
One of the owners ended up in cuffs. Charged over the incident, spent the weekend inside before getting bail. Queensland Police have confirmed investigations are ongoing.
The alleged thief remains unaccounted for.
CCTV footage of the incident has since gone viral online, and it is not hard to see why.
They found him. They stopped him. They wrecked their own ride to do it.
And they are the ones who ended up in court.
