A Darling Heights man accused by police as being a prolific burglar has had 109 charges laid against him mentioned before Toowoomba Magistrates Court.
Daniel Mark Jones was not in court for the mention of his matters on Monday and has been held in custody since his arrest by police in May.
Police claim the 33-year-old is responsible for a series of burglaries, break-ins and car thefts in the Cecil Plains region and across the Darling Downs.
Police also allege Jones is responsible for torching stolen cars.
His charges include entering dwellings and committing indictable offences, unlawfully using motor vehicles, stealing, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, evasion offences, armed robbery with actual violence and four counts of arson of a motor vehicle.
He has not as yet been required to enter any pleas to the charges.
Jones was arrested during a dramatic incident in May when police, acting on a tip off, tracked him from Cecil Plans to Esk.
At the time, Detective Acting-Inspector Paul McCusker said police had used extensive resources including Polair to track down the 33-year-old.
Jones was alleged to have fled police and only stopped after officers used road spikes on Gatton-Esk Road.
Police claim Jones stole 10 vehicles and torched at least three.
Insp McCusker said police had been looking for Jones for more than two months before his arrest.
“He also kept moving from one area to another,” he said.
Police allege Jones targeted rural properties near Goondiwindi, Warwick, Toowoomba, Dalby, Esk, Ipswich, Gatton and Brisbane.
After his matters were mentioned in Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Monday, Magistrate Graham Lee remanded him in custody and adjourned all charges for mention back in the same court on November 10.
