A Queensland family was left shaken after their car was carjacked with their two young children in the back seat on Christmas Day at Beenleigh.
Police are hunting for a man allegedly responsible for the carjacking, but arrested an alleged female accomplice today.

It is understood the man pushed the mother out the passenger door and leapt into the driver’s seat.
The couple was knocked over as the man sped off and CCTV footage captured the pair screaming.
The two children were located unharmed at a service station in Cornubia shortly after.
