Two men have been arrested over a crime spree across suburban Adelaide in which six people were allegedly threatened at gunpoint, several cars were stolen and one victim was punched in the face.
Police have seized three allegedly stolen cars linked to a series of incidents which occurred yesterday over a 16-hour period.
In the first incident, on Bagster Road at Salisbury North at about 5:30am, a passenger in a small grey hatchback threatened the driver of another vehicle with a firearm.
Half an hour later, a man was walking along Village Terrace in Blakeview when he was threatened, punched in the face and had his bag stolen by two men in a hatchback.
In a similar incident, a driver was parked on Fuller Street at Walkerville when a stolen Holden ute reversed up to his car and a passenger threatened him with two guns. His wallet and phone were stolen.
Another person was threatened with a handgun on Bolivar Road at Paralowie at about 11:45am.
Several hours later, a small hatchback pulled up on Creslin Avenue at Ingle Farm, with the driver threatening another person with a gun just after 7:30pm.
"The events culminated at 9:20pm when a man was approached in Pauls Drive at Valley View," police said.
"The victim was threatened and he was assaulted with what he describes as a shotgun."
The attacker then allegedly stole the victim's Ford ute, which was spotted by a member of the public on Oak Avenue at Burton at about 7:00am this morning.
Police said a 33-year-old local man was arrested nearby just before 9:30am after a search of the area assisted by STAR Group patrols.
"He was then taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital for treatment of minor injuries, and will face numerous charges once he is released back into police custody," police said.
The Ford ute was towed away for forensic examination, along with an allegedly stolen silver Hyundai seized earlier.
The Holden ute was found at Angle Park, where a 28-year-old Virginia man was arrested at about 2:00am.
He has been charged with offences including illegal use of a motor vehicle, driving while disqualified and driving under the influence of drugs.
