The 43-year-old Mandurah man has been charged two counts of stealing a motor vehicle, two counts of no authority to drive, stealing, failing to stop, reckless driving, excess 0.02%, possessing drug paraphernalia and criminal damage.

He was refused bail and is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court today.
