A man has been charged with a slew of offences following an investigation into reports a man was allegedly seen with a firearm in Sydney’s inner west last week.

About 10.20am on Friday, police were called to a car park on Williams Parade, Dulwich Hill, after reports of an alleged stolen vehicle.

Officers were told a man was allegedly armed with a firearm inside a stolen car, before he allegedly set fire to the car.
