Gold Coast police chase: Bizarre moment up to a dozen cop cars slowly pursue suspected gunman

A bizarre police chase involving multiple cop cars slowly pursuing a Mercedes SUV along a stretch of highway has come to a dramatic end. 

Footage of the chase shows 10 police cars, including several undercover vehicles, following a Mercedes SUV with a person on the roof along the M1 Motorway in the Tweed region in northern NSW on Thursday.

The car was trailed for over 100km from a location in east Brisbane down through the Gold Coast to the NSW-Queensland border and then into NSW. 

Officers managed to stop the vehicle after deploying road spikes, with the driver coming to a stop near Cudgera Creek. 

Police have arrested a man, 27, and two teenagers, 17 and 16.
