Police are investigating after a car was found abandoned and burning on a roadside in Clarkefield during the early hours of yesterday morning.
CFA crews from Clarkefield, Riddells Creek and Bolinda responded at 3am on Tuesday to Konagaderra Road and extinguished the blaze, which had spread onto adjacent grass.
Clarkefield CFA captain Brian Boyle said cars were often abandoned and set alight in the area.
“This is actually the first one in a while,” he said.
“It’d been alight for some time by the time we got in and was pretty much burnt out by the time we got there.
“We couldn’t even make out the car. The best we could work out was it was some form of all-wheel-drive. We couldn’t identify anything.”
A Sunbury Police unit attended the scene and Broadmeadows detectives confirmed they were investigating the matter.
