Hori Gemmell is currently before the courts facing charges over the incident in which a police patrol car was stolen and used to ram a second patrol car.
Two police-issue Glock pistols were taken from the vehicle.
The 24-year-old was arrested after a 40-hour manhunt and found in possession of one of the guns.
A police spokesperson says investigators are still searching for the second firearm.
No further arrests have been made in relation to the theft and a review of the incident will be completed soon.
