A man appeared at Newcastle Local Court on Thursday morning relating to an armed carjacking on Monday.
At 4pm it is alleged Scott Burns threatened three people with a firearm at a Charlestown shopping centre before stealing their vehicle.
Lake Macquarie police officers were unable to locate the vehicle on Monday, arresting the man on Wednesday at a home on Emerald Street at North Lambton.
At the home, the police seized clothing and items believed to be illicit substances, which are awaiting forensic examination.
It is alleged he aimed a firearm at police during the arrest.
The thirty-two year old was charged with fourteen offences including robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon and possessing a loaded firearm in a public place.
The man was refused bail and will re-appear in court in August
