Police have arrested a man after he attempted to drive off with a pizza delivery car in Adamstown last weekend.
A delivery driver was picking up orders around 6.45pm on Saturday night when a man hopped into the car and started driving off.
But the delivery driver was able to stop the man from getting too far and following a brief verbal argument managed to put the car in park and snapped a photo of the alleged offender as he fled.
The incident was then reported to Newcastle City Police who immediately recognised the would-be joyrider.
Officers finally located the man this morning, he has been charged with take/drive conveyance and unlicensed driver in relation to the incident.
He has been remanded in custody until a court appearance slated for this afternoon.
