SEVERAL vehicles allegedly stolen from Chiltern overnight have been found ditched in the Wangaratta area this morning.

Police were called to Bowser Road near Reedy Creek shortly after 6am on Wednesday morning, where they found a red Hyundai Tucson ablaze on the side of the road.

The alleged offenders are believed to have ditched the vehicle, and no one was injured in the blaze.

According to Detective Sergeant Chris Hill of Wangaratta Crime Investigation Unit, the Tucson and a white Holden Cruze were allegedly stolen from High Street Chiltern overnight, and may be linked to an alleged burglary in Benalla in the early hours of this morning.

The white Cruze was also found abandoned in Glenrowan earlier this morning, and was forensically examined by police.

Det Sgt Hill said a blue 2002 Holden Commodore VX utility had also been stolen from a Boundary Road, Glenrowan address overnight, and said police believed the vehicle was linked to the earlier thefts.

He urged anyone with information or dashcam footage to contact Wangaratta Crime Investigation Unit on 5723 0888, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
