Armed police have surrounded a home as they continue the hunt for the driver of a stolen car who allegedly mowed down a brave officer trying to pull him over.
Senior Constable David Masters, 53, died on the scene when he was struck by the white Hyundai Kona SUV while trying to deploy a tyre-deflating device on the Bruce Highway, near Deception Bay north of Brisbane at 3am on Saturday.
Police have since locked in on a home in Moodlu after the burnt remains of the stolen car were found nearby.
It s unclear if the accused car thief and killer is inside the home, but police have confirmed they are yet to make any arrests.
