A man who led police on a chase through several Newcastle suburbs on Tuesday has been arrested this week.
It's understood, the 21-year-old was arrested at Morpeth on Thursday morning.
It's being alleged, a Lexus station wagon stolen from Merewether almost two weeks ago failed to stop after being directed by police in Charlestown on Tuesday afternoon.
The car was found abandoned at Jesmond shopping centre early that evening, though the driver and passenger were able to evade the police net.
Police allege on Wednesday, a woman was pulled from her car on her driveway in Blackalls Park.
That stolen car was later found abandoned in Hamilton South.
The Wallsend man now faces 26 property and traffic offences, as well as breach of bail.
He's set to appear in Maitland Local Court on Friday.
