With a name like Indiana Jones, trying to pull off an elaborate escape might seem par for the course.
But NSW detectives allege a 21-year-old namesake of the film hero used his skills for evil by playing a critical role in a drug lord's daylight execution.
Indiana Jones, from the Canterbury-Bankstown region of Sydney, was arrested on Thursday and charged with the murder of Alen Moradian, who was gunned down in an underground car park in Bondi Junction in June over a purported debt.
Two cars, later identified as the first and second getaway cars, were found burnt out shortly after the murder.
Jones was allegedly behind the wheel of both cars, having driven Moradian's killer to and from the scene.
He also helped destroy each car as the pair fled, police allege.
With Jones' arrest, Homicide Squad Commander Virginia Gorman said detectives have charged the seven key players involved in the execution.
The alleged gunman - Fairfield Heights man Dut Deng, 24 - was arrested on January 2 while detectives in December swooped on a man accused of sourcing a tracking device and phones used to co-ordinate the fatal shooting.
The plot's alleged mastermind, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was nabbed in September.
"This investigation should demonstrate to the people involved in these organised crime murders that we will continue to investigate and pursue every participant, from the organisers and facilitators to the trackers, drivers and shooters," Detective Acting Superintendent Gorman said on Thursday.
Jones, who will turn 22 this year, did not apply for bail when he faced Newcastle Local Court on Thursday.
He is due to face a Sydney court in March.
Nicknamed "Fathead", Moradian was arrested in 2007 along with his wife Natasha Youkhana and others over what police said was one of the largest cocaine and money-laundering rackets in NSW history.
The underworld drug lord with known links to the Comanchero bikie gang was sentenced to 16 years and nine months in jail for drug importation and supply.
Detectives believe his June 27 murder was motivated by an outstanding $500,000 debt to an organised crime entity.
