Five teenagers have been charged over an alleged week-long crime spree in southern Queensland that involved a joy ride in a stolen car, an armed robbery and break-ins at two supermarkets and three service stations.

Police alleged the spree began on Friday, July 12, when the teens — aged between 14 and 17 — took a Volkswagen from a home in Chinchilla.

On Sunday, July 14, the car was involved in a break and enter at a Crows Nest supermarket, police said.

The group then drove an hour south to break into a service station at Yarraman, they said.

After the alleged crimes, the car was driven another 20 kilometres south to Nanango, where another two service stations were broken into.

Police spike tyres of teens' car

The group laid low for a number of days, but were spotted last night about 8:50pm on the Warrego Highway.

Officers tracked them down half an hour later and had their tyres spiked in Dalby.

Despite the damage, the teens continued driving for another 40 kilometres south to Cecil Plains, where the car was abandoned.

They then allegedly stole a Toyota Land Cruiser and while trying to reverse out of the carport hit a fence and wedged the vehicle.

When the owner came out of his house, the boys allegedly threatened him with an iron bar before fleeing the scene on foot.

The dog squad then tracked the five boys down, finding them hiding in a shed at a Cecil Plains property about 2:15am Saturday.

Once in custody, they were charged with numerous offences, including break and enter, armed robbery and dangerous driving.
