Arrest in hunt for man who roamed Dulwich Hill with sawn-off shotgun
The inner west suburb was placed into lockdown on Friday, following reports a man had pointed a shotgun at residents.
Sydney police responded to reports of an alleged stolen car in Dulwich Hill on Friday morning. A man was reportedly seen with a firearm inside a stolen vehicle, which led officers to believe the driver was armed. The situation escalated when the man allegedly set fire to the car. Later that same night, a 32-year-old man was arrested in Burwood for allegedly trying to evade police.
He has been charged with seven offenses, including possession of a firearm without authority, attempting to acquire a prohibited firearm, robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon, possessing a housebreaking implement, destruction or damage to property, driving without the owner's consent, and driving during a disqualification period.
