The males, aged 17 and 31 years, are alleged to have broken into the residence of an elderly man in Garman at 3.30pm the same day, where they assaulted the man before stealing his motor vehicle and other items.

They then allegedly drove to Inverell where the parked stolen vehicle was identified by patrolling police.

Officers initiated a large scale search of the township culminating in the location and arrest of both males at around 5.30pm in the council parking area outside the Country Fair building.

The males are the last of a group of six people who triggered a district-wide manhunt after a vehicle, stolen in the Queensland town of Ipswich, was involved in a fail-to-pay incident at an Inverell petrol station on Tuesday night.

The following day the same vehicle was involved in a fail-to-pay in Ashford.

Extra officers and the police helicopter, PolAir, joined the search on Wednesday when the vehicle was identified and stopped by police in Graman.

A foot chase ensued culminating in the arrest of two females.  

Two more men were arrested in the Graman and Delungra areas on Thursday.

All four have since been convicted and sentenced to terms of imprisonment.

The males arrested by Inverell Police on Friday were charged and refused bail. They are due to appear in Moree Local Court on Monday, July 24.

Inverell Acting Inspector Ross Chilcott said the police would particularly like to thank the community for their assistance following the incidents in Graman.

“As a result all six offenders have now been apprehended,” he said.

Police thanked the community for their ongoing co-operation and assistance with this matter on their Facebook page following the arrest of all six offenders.
