Police allege the 29-year-old threatened victims with a hunting knife and stole a vehicle and caravan during a multi-day pursuit.
On Monday, NSW Police Tasered a 43-year-old man at a shopping center on Belmore Street, Burwood, following reports of "suspicious activity." A 32-year-old man was also arrested at the scene.
Police alleged 29-year-old Zane Walker committed multiple offenses, including threatening occupants at the Glen Innes Showground with a knife and stealing a Dodge Ram utility before leading police on multiple pursuits.
Earlier on Thursday, August 6, Walker allegedly broke into a Grieve Lane unit demanding car keys. Community assistance led officers to arrest him on a property on Holdfast Road, Yetman, on Sunday.
Facing 10 charges including robbery and vehicle theft, Walker appeared via video link in court on Monday, August 10. Judge Miranda Moody formally refused bail for the accused.
Judge Moody ordered police to present a brief of evidence in September. Walker remains in custody as the investigation into the alleged incidents continues.
