A HINO tipper truck was spotted engulfed in flames in Gembrook after it was stolen from a Narre Warren business.
Offenders removed a white bobcat from the rear of the vehicle before it was set alight on Launching Place Road, about 5.20am.
The truck went missing from Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road in Narre Warren, between 7pm on Saturday 23 and 4.30am on Sunday 24 January.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rodney Maroney said stolen bobcats were often shipped interstate.
“There’s a market for them, when they start occurring we get a few of them,” he said.
