Two teenage boys have been charged following investigations after a fire extinguisher was allegedly sprayed into a vehicle at Sippy Downs.

It will be alleged that about 7.50pm on Sunday, June 15, two teens were riding an e-bike along High Street, Sippy Downs, when they discharged the fire extinguisher into the open back window of a Silver Suzuki Vitara that was stopped at traffic lights.

The occupants of the vehicle, a 29-year-old male driver and five-month-old child passenger, sustained minor injuries and required treatment at hospital.

It will be further alleged the fire extinguisher used in the incident was stolen from a nearby car park on Courage Street, Sippy Downs, earlier that night.

A 15-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with 13 offences including three counts each of wilful damage and two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.

A 14-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with six offences including two counts each of wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm.

Both boys will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act.
