In a third incident, a burnt-out car was abandoned near the PCYC, although police were unable to provide any details.

The spate of car theft and arson in the first half of 2019 followed on from a wave of similar crime towards the end of last year, with almost 10 vehicles stolen and torched in December alone.

Two vehicles were torched in 24 hours in the second week of April, which brought the tally to 16 for this year.

This is not the first time Orange police have targeted car fire crime, with four men arrested in January last year following the torching of more than 30 vehicles in the six months prior.

Orange Police urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
