Police were called to Queen Elizabeth II Drive after a three-vehicle crash, where a man allegedly stole one car involved.
It was later abandoned on Harewood Road, and the man's accused of pulling a person from a driver's seat trying to steal another car, then targeting three more vehicles.
Police arrested a 28-year-old on Papanui Road, and he's due in court today on multiple charges.
