Police from the Southern Region Traffic Group were patrolling in Flinders as a part of investigations into a number of stealing and traffic offences, around 11:25am Monday.
Officers tried to stop a Nissan Pathfinder that was heading south on Jindabyne Road, though the driver did not stop. A pursuit began but was terminated a short time later due to safety concerns.
With help from the public, the Pathfinder was found parked on Whittaker Street while the alleged driver was found soon after with the help of the Dog Unit.
The man was arrested and charged with police pursuit - not stop - drive dangerously, drive motor vehicle on road during disqualification period (three counts), larceny (three counts), shoplifting and owner not disclose identity of driver.
He was refused bail and will appear before Wollongong Local Court on Tuesday.
