It's alleged the trio arrived in a stolen BMW armed with a gun and a machete, before threatening the people inside the home.

Police say the men and teenager swiped cash from the home and stole an Audi, before fleeing 15km away to Gilston, sparking a suburb-wide manhunt.

"We basically had every possible police on the Gold Coast involved in this search," an officer told 9News.

Gilston resident Isaac Lenton watched on as the trio allegedly evaded police in the bushes.

"There's people running around with, like, a shotgun hiding in the bush there," he said.

"There's a police car hiding out the front of our house and everyone's yelling, getting told to go inside."
