Man charged over southern suburbs ram raids
Police have arrested and charged a man in connection with two ram raids in Perth last week which caused an estimated $600,000 damage.
A Toyota Hilux stolen from an Ascot home was used in the ram raids in Riverton and Brentwood in the early hours of April 26.
A Brentwood deli was targeted first and shortly after the shopping centre in Riverton was smashed into.
"They continued through the shopping centre and into a telecommunications retailer causing damage and stealing a quantity of items," police said at the time of the Riverton incident.
"The vehicle left the shopping centre causing damage to a number of main entrances."
The car was later found abandoned in Langford on the morning of April 27.
On Tuesday Cannington Detectives arrested and charged a 30-year-old man at a Langford home.
Police will allege stolen property and other items connected to the two ram raids were found at the house.
The 30-year-old man is facing a range of charges including steal motor vehicle, burglary with intent, stealing and criminal damage.
He will face court on Wednesday.
