Police are continuing to investigate after three people were assaulted and a vehicle stolen yesterday morning.

At 5.45am a woman arrived at a service station on the Bruce Highway at Burpengary, when she was approached by a man and woman. The man assaulted the victim and demanded keys to her car, however the woman was able to flee with her keys.

The pair then smashed the window of another parked car and assaulted the female passenger, demanding keys to the vehicle but the victim did not have them.

The pair then approached a third vehicle, a Mitsubishi Outlander. The male driver was assaulted and the pair fled in the car, heading north on the Bruce Highway.

At 11.15am, police received information the Outlander had crashed on a property on Old Caloundra Road in Glenview. The man and woman had fled into bushland prior to police arrival and an extensive search failed to locate the pair.

About 1pm police made an emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act for people to avoid the area, which was revoked just after 3pm.

Police have seized the Mitsubishi Outlander and a firearm that was located nearby.

Investigators are appealing for the man and woman to contact police.
