A Queensland couple is arrested and charged in New South Wales after using a ute that was allegedly stolen from a car dealership in north Queensland to ram police cars across the state border.

The man was later arrested at a Tweed Heads hospital.

The woman was charged for being a passenger in a stolen car, while the man was charged with six offences relating to allegedly stealing a car, evading police, using a weapon to avoid arrest and other offences.It's unclear whether the couple crossed into New South Wales before or after the border closed at 1:00am on Saturday.Since the Queensland border was closed to traffic from New South Wales, only residents in approved postcodes are permitted to travel into Queensland.

As of this morning, police had checked 5,596 vehicles at the border, and 159 vehicles had been turned around, since the road crossing was closed to unauthorised travellers.
