Queensland cops stood down over pursuit

Two policemen in southeast Queensland have been stood down for allegedly engaging in an unauthorised pursuit.

The 49-year-old senior constable and a 47-year-old senior sergeant have been removed from official duties, Queensland Police said on Thursday.

"The officers are subject of a disciplinary investigation concerning allegations of engaging in an unauthorised pursuit, driving or causing a police motor vehicle to be driven in a manner likely to endanger other road users, and inappropriate use of force," a police statement said.

This does not necessarily mean the allegations against the officers have been substantiated, police say.
