TWO members of the ABC'S The Chaser team have been detained by police while performing a prank at Sydney's InterContinental Hotel, ABC management said today.

 

"At this stage we can confirm that Julian Morrow and Chas Licciardello have been detained," said Peter Ritchie, a spokesman for the broadcaster.

 

Up to 9 other people connected with the television show were also arrested, after the group drove a fake motorcade down Macquarie St in the APEC restricted zone.

 

Chas Licciardello was reportedly dressed as Osama bin Laden, and was arrested after he emerged from one of the vehicles to the embarrassment of security forces.
