A Chinderah man accused of driving a stolen Commodore in the wrong direction down the M1 that was later involved in a collision with a truck has been denied bail.

Bradley John Campbell, 34, appeared in Bail Court on Tuesday after being charged with six traffic and property offences relating to an incident at on Monday.

Police allege officers attempted to stop a red Holden Commodore in the Tweed City Shopping Centre car park about 9.10am, Monday, suspecting the vehicle had been stolen from a Tweed home overnight.

When the driver allegedly failed to stop, police initiated a pursuit before terminating it after 10km due to safety concerns.

The court heard a short time later the Commodore was involved in a collision with a truck and trailer on the M1.

No one was injured; however police allege the driver left the scene. Officers arrested Campbell at the Tweed City Shopping Centre around 1pm.

He has been charged with police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously, drive while licence cancelled, take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, drive recklessly/furiously or in a speed or manner dangerous, not give particulars to other driver, and destroy or damage property valued at more than $5000 and less than $15,000.

Opposing bail, the police prosecutor , Sergeant Carney argued the accused posed an unacceptable risk of further offending, endangering community safety and failing to appear in court.

The prosecution also cited the alleged police pursuit, criminal history and three outstanding Queensland warrants.

Police allege he attempted to evade apprehension following the crash.

His defence solicitor ,  Barbara Lu sort bail and said Campbell denied the allegations, including stealing the vehicle, involvement in a police pursuit and damaging fire doors at Tweed City Shopping Centre.

Judge L Viney refused bail, describing the alleged pursuit as a serious example of the offence and noting it allegedly involved driving the wrong way on a motorway while unlicensed and in a stolen vehicle.

Judge Viney said concerns around community safety, further offending and Campbell’s risk of failing to appear could not be adequately addressed through bail conditions.

It was noted that Campbell had completed a period of parole only days before the alleged offences.

He was remanded in custody and is due to reappear in Tweed Heads Local Court via AVL on June 22.
