NSW Police are looking for a man who escaped police custody at Kirrawee.
About 9.30am on Friday St George police were executing a search warrant at a home on Caravan Head Road at Oyster Bay when they arrested Maxim Koopelain, 29.
During the arrest he managed to break free of police and was seen running down Waratah Street.
Police said Mr Koopelain stole a grey Mazda from Caringbah later that afternoon.
He then went to a house in Casula about 1.30pm on Saturday where he left the Mazda and took another car.
The car is a red-coloured 1999 Toyota Corolla sedan with NSW registration ELC-003.
He was last seen wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt with ‘Shire PTC’ written on the front, black shorts and Adidas joggers.
He is described as being of South American appearance, about 170-180cm tall, with a medium build, an olive complexion, short dark brown hair and brown eyes.
Police believe he could be headed to Northmead, Mudgee, or Wadalda.
Anyone who sees him should contact police immediately.
