Stolen cars left to burn

POLICE are appealing for information about two stolen cars set alight in Greater Dandenong.
Fire crews extinguished a 1998 Nissan Patrol in a vacant paddock on Glasscocks Road, Bangholme, about 10am on Saturday 16 April.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said it was reported as stolen overnight from a Langwarrin home.
Just after 10pm the same day, a woman called triple-zero after seeing a car on fire at Jones Road and Hemming Street, Dandenong.
She also reported seeing a man rummaging through the burning car then walking north along Jones Road.
Detective Sergeant Kirton said the CFA’s prompt attendance contained the fire to under the bonnet area.
He said the blue 1998 Nissan Pulsar hatch was stolen from Canberra and police were treating the fire as suspicious.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
