The car, a dark grey BMW with distinctive red leather interior and brown beads hanging from the rear-view mirror, was taken on Tuesday night from a residence on the Gold Coast.

Local residents were shocked to discover footage shared online of the young thieves cruising through local streets, showing off their new 'prize.' The car's registration number, 293EB7, was easily identifiable in the footage, which was circulated on social media. The stolen vehicle was last seen in the Logan and Crestmead areas before reportedly making its way further up towards Brisbane.
