POLICE are seeking public assistance after a woman was thrown in the air and petrol left gushing from a broken bowser in a daring drive-off at Mt Warren Park, southeast Queensland, last week. Police said drivers were so determined to steal petrol they were now risking the lives of their family and friends.
Police said the incident occurred at the Mt Warren Park Caltex after an alert console operator approached the car to check the registration plates.
They are still searching for both offenders and want anyone recognising the alleged offender to contact police.
Surveillance video shows the woman launched into the air before landing hard on the ground, narrowly missing being covered in fuel pouring from the damaged bowser when the driver of the car bearing stolen plates sped away as she filled up.
Logan District Inspector Darren Harland said drive-offs were still a huge problem across the city with stolen plates attached to most cars involved.
