Emergency services responded to reports of the incident in Sir Neville Howse Place just before 7.30am on Sunday morning, with the vehicle believed to have been dumped and torched after being driven through a fence in the area.

Although it remained unconfirmed, the vehicle was believed to have been stolen and was completely destroyed in the blaze, which took one Fire and Rescue 15 minutes to extinguish after discovering it well alight on arrival.

The incident adds to a continually-growing list of torched vehicles in Orange since 2021 began, with more than a dozen vehicle fires reported since the first of the year on January 1.
