A 30-year-old man has been charged with multiple offences after leading police on a chase that ended in a dramatic shopping centre arrest.

Just after midday yesterday, police saw an Audi allegedly driving erratically on the Leach Highway in Melville in Perth's south.

After the vehicle entered a carpark in Myaree, police tried to get the vehicle to stop, but it allegedly sped away, leading to a chase.

The driver allegedly drove onto the footpath and on the wrong side of the road, and the chase was terminated due to safety concerns.

A short time later, the man was tracked down to a shopping centre in Booragoon, where the man abandoned the vehicle and disposed of a duffel bag.

The duffel bag was later found to have a sawn-off rifle with ammunition, a homemade taser and a pocket knife.
