A man has been charged with multiple offences after an investigation into reports of a man allegedly seen with a firearm in Sydney's inner west last week.
Police were called to a car park on Williams Parade, Dulwich Hill, at approximately 10:20 BST on Friday, 15 October 2026, following reports of an alleged stolen vehicle. Officers were informed that a man was allegedly armed with a firearm inside a stolen car, which he then allegedly set on fire.
At 11:30 BST last night, a 32-year-old man was arrested in Burwood after allegedly attempting to evade police. He faces seven charges, including possessing a shortened firearm without authority, acquiring a prohibited firearm subject to a prohibition order, and robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon. Other charges include possessing a housebreaking implement, destroying or damaging property, driving a conveyance without the owner's consent, and driving a motor vehicle during a disqualification period.
