Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for information following a car fire in Shepparton last week.

Police believe a group of unknown offenders attended a property on Westmorland Cres and set fire to a Holden Statesman on Tuesday, February 13 about 12.15am.

The offenders then set fire to the passenger door of their own car, a dark-coloured Holden sedan, before fleeing the scene in it.

They were last seen heading towards Archer St.

Investigators have released CCTV images of the fire-damaged vehicle while it was being driven, in the hope it will assist with the investigation.
