A 32-year-old man has been charged in Sydney's inner west after allegedly attempting to evade police.
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.
