A man's body has been found in bushland as police investigate the murder of a Perth father-of-two.

Malcolm Benjamin Boyd Taylor, 37, was last seen on April 29.

A 38-year-old man has been charged with Mr Taylor's murder and is being extradited from NSW.

West Australian police said on Saturday they had located a man's body in bushland in Grey, south of Jurien Bay.

The body is yet to be formally identified.

Mr Taylor was last seen on April 29 and reported missing on May 6.

The Banksia Grove man accused of Mr Taylor's murder is due in Perth on Sunday.

He was arrested following a police chase in NSW after officers spotted a car with stolen West Australian number plates.

The driver was arrested after he crashed into the fence of a house at The Entrance on the Central Coast.

A woman and a six-year-old girl who were passengers in the car were not hurt in the crash.
