A month-long, widespread search chasing a man who committed almost 100 offences has been charged this week.
A 33-year-old Toowoomba man, who committed offences daily in the Darling Downs, South Burnett and Somerset Region has been arrested.
Toogoolawah police arrested the Toowoomba man on Saturday night in Esk after deploying stingers on another stolen vehicle that the man was driving.
Special emergency response team officers and Polair assisted with locating the man, who had fled on foot into bushland near Esk-Hampton Road.
The man will appear at the Toogoolawah Magistrates Court this week on nearly 100 charges relating to armed robbery, burglary, unlawful use of motor vehicles and arson offences.
He was subject to a widespread search during the last for weeks, Toogoolawah OIC sergeant John Cumner said.
“While we are very happy with the location and arrest of this offender, Toogoolawah police wish to emphasise the importance of securing your vehicles and property to reduce opportunistic theft,” he said.
The man will appear in the Toowoomba Court at a later date.
