and pulled over motorists.

Todd faces 32 charges, including six counts of deprivation of liberty, 10 counts of
stealing, armed robbery, and three counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

The offences are alleged to have occurred on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane.

Todd was not present in Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday when the matter was
