Police have arrested and charged a man for stealing a car and are investigating whether he's linked to other crimes in the Kaikorai Valley area.

Officers say they apprehended a man driving a stolen Mazda Familia on Gladstone Road in Mosgiel yesterday afternoon.

The car was reportedly stolen late the previous night from outside a house in Mulberry Lane off Kaikorai Valley Road.

There were two other incidents in the area around the same time which were reported to police.

Attempts were made to steal a car parked on Bradford Street and to burgle a Peel Street home, where a cat flap was ripped off a door.

Police say they suspect the driver of the stolen car may have also been involved in those incidents.
