Stolen vehicle and arson at Bundaberg

Police are investigating following a stolen vehicle incident in Svensson Heights this morning, February 6.

Emergency services were called to the Industrial Avenue address just after 1.30am to reports three people had broken into a property, stolen a vehicle, and set another alight.

Upon arrival, a 66-year-old North Bundaberg man was located with non-life-threatening injuries and did not require hospitalisation.

It is understood the trio threatened the man with a knife before stealing his Toyota Prado, and setting a nearby utility on fire.

The fire then spread to four neighbouring vehicles before emergency services contained the blaze.

No one was inside the vehicles at the time.

Police immediately declared a crime scene, and investigations are continuing.

The white Toyota Prado has subsequently been located on fire on Goodwood Rd at Kinkuna.

Police are appealing for anyone with information or relevant vision to come forward.
