Police have arrested a 28-year-old Caboolture man after a hit-and-run and subsequent negotiations in Golden Beach this morning.
Police were initially called to reports a stolen Ford Ranger had crashed into a house on Anning Ave, in Golden Beach near Caloundra, around 5.35am.
That car was allegedly stolen from a Wurtulla address this morning.
No one was injured during the crash, however the house and a vehicle parked at the property were damaged.
The driver fled the scene but was located in the Pumicestone Passage, swimming towards Pelican Waters.
The man then climbed into a boat, and then a second boat, where he made threats.
Specialist police engaged with the man and arrested him without incident.
Investigations are ongoing.
