Later in the morning, police saw the truck on the Princes Highway at Rockdale and attempted to pull the vehicle over.

The driver allegedly did not stop and police started to follow the vehicle.

Police said the chase continued towards Wolli Creek, where the truck allegedly hit four parked cars but did not stop.

Police stopped following the truck due to safety fears but continued to monitor the vehicle from a helicopter.

The truck continued onto the M8 then travelled westbound onto the M4.

The delivery vehicle was eventually stopped by road spikes on the Great Western Highway at Glenbrook.

Police swooped in, used a Taser and arrested a 29-year-old man.

The man was left with minor injuries from the arrest and was taken to hospital to be checked over.

He was later charged with armed robbery, not stopping during a police pursuit, driving a motor vehicle during a disqualification period, hindering or resisting a police officer in the execution of duty, knowingly possessing an identity plate not on correct vehicle and using an offensive weapon to prevent lawful detention.

He was refused bail to appear at Penrith Local Court today
