Man charged after alleged carjacking spree across Sydney

A man has been charged over a series of alleged carjackings and fiery crashes across Sydney yesterday afternoon.

Police said the 30-year-old man was picked up by a ride-sharing service on Archibald Avenue, Waterloo, just after 12.10pm.

He allegedly began acting erratically, causing the 32-year-old driver to get out of the sedan Canterbury Road.

The passenger then allegedly moved into the driver’s seat and drove the car to King Georges Road.

Minutes later, the vehicle was involved in a three-car collision near Roselands Drive, police said.

The man then continued driving to Moorefields Drive, where he allegedly crashed into another car about 12.15pm.

Both cars were filmed erupting into flames, with plumes of black smoke seen billowing from the scene.

The man then allegedly unsuccessfully attempted to steal the car of a 73-year-old woman, and then forced a 4WD driver to take him to Sydney Airport.

He was arrested at the domestic terminal and taken to St George Hospital with cuts and bruises.

Police have charged the man with six offences, including negligent driving and driving a motor vehicle during a disqualification period.

He was refused bail and will appear in Sutherland Local Court tomorrow.
