A four-wheel-drive stolen from Rockingham has ended up on Scarborough Beach after a wild police chase.

Police say the Toyota Prado was stolen from a home in Rockingham around 9am on Thursday, March 20.

It was later spotted on the Canning Highway in Victoria Park.

Police tried to stop the vehicle but the driver allegedly sped off.

He is accused of driving recklessly and at speed, at times on the road side of the road, through several suburbs including Victoria Park, Burswood, the Graham Farmer Freeway, Gwelup, Carine, North Beach and Scarborough.

The Prado eventually came to a stop on Scarborough Beach when it became bogged.

The driver was then arrested.

During a search of the car, police allegedly found a replica firearm and a quantity of methylamphetamine.

The 46-year-old from Beaconsfield has been charged with a string of offences and is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court today.
