Police have charged a 40-year-old Rockhampton man following an investigation into a string of alleged offences stretching from North Brisbane to Central Queensland last week.
Police alleged that on Thursday, February 18, Grant Allen Smith stole a Honda from a Chermside shopping centre, drove it to a petrol station in Rockhampton South about 6.30pm, and stole fuel before fleeing in the car.
A short time later witnesses saw the Honda drive into an Allenstown petrol station, where it will be alleged a woman exited the vehicle and stole fuel, after which the man drove away without her.

Rockhampton Coles customers raised more than $3,200 as part of a fundraising appeal to help families affected by childhood cancer.
The efforts at Rockhampton North, Rockhampton South, and Yeppoon stores contributed to a total $3.2 million raised across the country in four weeks.
About $1.57 million went towards food rescue organisation SecondBite and nearly $1.5 million to national children’s cancer charity Redkite.
More than half the funds raised were from Coles supermarket customers who purchased a $2 donation card at the checkout.
Research released by SecondBite in November showed more than three-quarters of its food charities expected Christmas would be more difficult for the people they support in the community, with 72 per cent of agencies also reporting an increase in demand for food relief since COVID-19 began.
