Ballarat Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man following a crime spree on Sunday morning, 20 March.
A Toyota 4WD was stolen during a burglary at an Old Creswick Road business in Ballarat about 3.15am.
It is believed this vehicle was then used in the burglary and theft of a truck and trailer from a business also on Old Creswick Road about 3.30am.
The truck was found burnt out on White Swan Road in Invermay about 4.40am.
The Toyota and the trailer were then used to steal another vehicle on the Western Highway in Ballan about 6am.
Police were called after the Toyota was seen driving erratically through the Ballan township shortly after 8am.
Officers successfully deployed a tyre deflation device on Old Geelong Road, which immobilised the vehicle a short time later, leading to the arrested of a 29-year-old Wendouree man.
He has been charged with multiple counts of burglary and theft and has been remanded to appear before Ballarat Magistrates' Court today.
The trailer and a second stolen vehicle were subsequently recovered in separate locations in Ballan.
