A man was appeared in court after being charged with committing a string of burglary offences and leading police on a pursuit and foot chase on Thursday morning.
Cain Dhu, 24, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Friday and has been remanded in custody to reappear on April 5.
Police say the man was spotted while driving on Jannali Way in San Remo and allegedly failed to stop when summonsed by officers, leading to a short pursuit.

Local residents are said to have assisted in police capturing him.
Before he was arrested, police allege he kicked the front door of two homes open in Madora Bay and San Remo and stole possessions from four different properties.
He is also accused of stealing handbags and keys from a Lamberts Cove home in Secret Harbour on March 6 and on the same day stealing tools and household items from a home in Flagstaff Crescent.
Mr Dhu has been charged with two stealing motor vehicle offences, six counts of stealing, three aggravated home burglaries, reckless driving to escape pursuit, trespassing and a number of other charges.
