An unsuspecting bystander was caught in the centre of a high-speed and armed police pursuit through suburbs in Perth’s north-west when a runaway offender held him up at gunpoint.

Western Australian Police first gave chase to two men in Cannington who had allegedly stolen a black Holden Astra.

Pursuing the alleged thieves from the air, authorities tracked the car as it weaved between cars in heavy traffic while at high-speed, crossing to the wrong side of a number of roads on multiple occasions.

When officers caught up to the vehicle, one of the offenders surrendered to police who had their weapons drawn, while the other decided to keep running – fleeing the scene.

It was then that an innocent 41-year-old man who was standing in the driveway of his North Beach home, packing his car for a weekend of off-road car racing, was embroiled in the pursuit.

In vision posted to social media, the allegedly armed hooded offender can be seen running into the driveway while yelling, “Where’s the keys mate? Give us the keys.”

After the Astra was stopped by police, one of the offenders continued to flee - into the driveway of the bystander, who he then robbed of his Toyota Hilux ute while at gunpoint. (Supplied)

The alleged thief then stole the man’s Toyota Hilux ute and continued to evade police – throwing his alleged victim’s costly carpentry and racing gear from the back of the vehicle during the commotion.

“The race suits could be a couple grand, the helmets have all got comms in them – so $1000 there – there was 100 litres of fuel in the back for the race,” one of the victim’s friends told 9News.

One of the alleged offenders is former Subiaco player Alliston Pickett – the son of WAFL legend Allistair Picket.

The 26-year-old did not apply for bail in court today and has been remanded in custody along with a 35-year-old man.
