00:00Launceston residents were treated to a strange sight when a stolen tipper truck was chased
00:07across town with no tires, grinding along on its wheel rims in what one witness called
00:13a bit Fred Flintstone, a bit Blues Brothers.
00:16Police said Patrick Brown, 27, stole the vehicle before spiked tires forced him into a bizarre
00:31hours-long slow-motion pursuit through busy streets, at times driving on the wrong side
00:38of the road.
00:39Multiple police cars and the Polair helicopter joined the chase before Brown was arrested
00:45in Ravenswood.
00:46Brown pleaded guilty to several charges and was refused bail.
