A man's due to appear before Lewes Crown Court charged with two robberies and possession of an imitation firearm in Brighton.
Tyler Corteggio, 26, of Arnold Street in Brighton, is accused of two counts of robbery and two counts of possessing an imitation firearm with intent following multiple reports to police.
Officers said they were first alerted to a report of an intruder inside an address at Halland Road, Brighton, on July 4, where an electric bicycle was taken.
Then on July 14, police received a report of an intruder at an address in Seaford, with a report that a Range Rover was stolen.
Specialist officers from Sussex Police’s Tactical Firearms Unit (TFU) traced the vehicle to Stafford Road in Brighton where it was recovered.
Officers said they also spotted a man acting suspiciously close to the stolen vehicle, and after checking police systems, identified him as the suspect.
TFU Inspector Oli Fisher said:
"Officers acted quickly to locate the suspect involved in this case and made the arrest.
"They saw the suspect near the vehicle in Stafford Road, Brighton, and a man was taken into custody."
Mr Corteggio appeared before Brighton Magistrates’ Court on July 18 and was remanded in custody to appear before Lewes Crown Court on August 15.
