A Western Sydney teen has been slapped with 22 charges after an alleged spate of robberies where luxury cars and motorbikes were stolen.

Strike Force Sweetenham detectives were called to a Glenhaven home where a Mercedes GLC and a Dodge Ram were allegedly stolen about 4.30am on June 10.

Police were then sent to Volmer St, Oatlands following reports the Dodge Ram was in the vicinity at the time a home was allegedly broken into around 5.30am the same day.

Police will allege a total of eight pairs of luxury shoes, valued at about $14,400, were also stolen.

The following day, the Dodge Ram was allegedly seen following a break in and theft of three motorbikes from a business in Caringbah about 12.30am, before just a week later another home in Milson Rd, Cremorne Point was allegedly broken into and a BMW X6 stolen.

The BMW X6 was then allegedly used in a break in of a home on Kenthurst Rd, Kenthurst less than an hour later.

Police will also allege the car was used again during the break and enter of a home on Stuart St Longueville about 2.20am where a Mercedes was stolen.

A NSW Police spokeswoman said the Mercedes was recovered at a Blackett carpark the same day.

“Police were called to investigate the break in of a home on Lismore St, Hoxton Park today where a Land Rover was stolen before it was recovered in Oakhurst about 7.40am,” a statement issued on Friday reads.

Hours later, police arrested a 17-year-old boy at a home in Rooty Hill.

He was taken to Mount Druitt Police Station, where he was charged with a raft of charges, including seven counts of aggravated break and enter, car theft, and blackening or disguising his face with intent to commit an indictable offence.

He was also charged with participating in a criminal group.

He was refused bail and is due to appear in the Children’s Court on Saturday.

“Police will allege in court the teen was involved in all of the break-ins, thefts and pursuit,” a NSW Police representative said.
