A 27-year-old Bowenvale man has been arrested and charged following an alleged crime spree across western Victoria. 

Detectives from the Western Region Crime Squad believe the crime spree occurred over the last three weeks in locations including Ballarat, Bacchus Marsh, Geelong and Werribee. 

The investigation came to a head last Thursday, after police located an alleged stolen Nissan Navara travelling between Geelong and Werribee. 

Police Air Wing tracked the man travelling in the alleged stolen vehicle, before it came to a stop at a Werribee south address. The man was arrested and the stolen vehicle was recovered by police. 

Police also allege that the man stole a Toyota Hilux from Mount Wallace and a Nissan Patrol from Bacchus Marsh. 

The Toyota was recovered, however the Nissan remains outstanding. 

Detectives later conducted a search warrant at an address in Tarneit, recovering three stolen vehicles and two stolen box trailers. 

The man is facing 25 charges including aggravated burglary, theft of motor vehicles, theft and conduct endangering persons. 

He has been remanded to appear at the Geelong Magistrates’ Court on August 7 and investigations remain ongoing.
