Man taken into custody in Clem7 as another surrenders from rooftop

Police have taken two men into custody, one from the Clem7 tunnel and the other from a suburban Brisbane rooftop, following a lengthy chase and three-hour negotiation on Tuesday.

About 11am on Tuesday police received a report of vehicles being stolen around inner-city suburbs Annerley and Woolloongabba.

Hours later, police officers in the area spotted two suspect men in a vehicle on Ipswich Road, near the southern entrance of the Clem7 tunnel.

Polair and the dog squad were called in to help track down the men.

One man, aged in his 20s, was taken into custody inside the tunnel.

A second man fled and scaled a house in Woolloongabba about 4.20pm, remaining on the roof for hours. Police suspected the house was not occupied at the time.

Shortly after 7.30pm, the man surrendered to police and was also taken into custody.

He has suffered minor injuries while fleeing police, and was taken to hospital for treatment.

No charges had been laid on by Wednesday morning, as the man in his 20s assisted officers with inquiries, and the second remained in hospital.
