Police are investigating after a stolen car was set alight in Elizabeth South this morning.
About 12.45am Friday 20 August Northern District patrols spotted a black Subaru Liberty travelling along Quinlivan Road at Pooraka. Checks on the car revealed it had been stolen from a home in Paradise on Wednesday 18 August.
The patrol activated their emergency lights in an attempt to stop the vehicle, but it took off from them at speed. Police pursued the car for a short time west onto Montague Road before terminating due to safety reasons.
Just after 1am, police were called to Ridley Road in Elizabeth South after a resident reported seeing a group of men pull up in a black Subaru and flee, with the car bursting into flames shortly after.
Police including police dog PD Bandit searched the area but have not been able to locate the suspects at this time. The car was towed from the scene.
The suspects are described as men of African appearance. Anyone with information that may assist is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report on line at www.crimestopperssa.com.au – you can remain anonymous.
