The 21-year-old was arrested on 15 charges.

Police have arrested a man following a late night chase through several suburbs.

Around 10.20pm on Tuesday officers attempted to stop a Volkswagen Golf hatchback in the Armadale area.

Officers lost sight of the car but were later called to a car fire in Roleystone which turned out to be the Volkswagen Golf. Around the same time a Mazda sedan was stolen from a nearby residence.

Just after midnight officers spotted the stolen Mazda in Thornlie and chased the driver to Belmont.

The offender abandoned the vehicle at the intersection of Belgravia and Fullham Streets, fleeing on foot. 

Police Dog Mako was deployed and he tracked the driver who was hiding on the roof of a home on Fulham Street in Belmont.

The man of no fixed address is due to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court today on 15 charges, including stealing, steal motor vehicle, aggravated home burglary and obstructing public officers.
