Police were called to a vehicle fire along Banna Avenue between Crossing Street and Lenehan Road at 2am on Sunday where a green Holden Astra was destroyed by fire.

Members of the Griffith Fire and Rescue service called to extinguish the fire, with no damage to other vehicles along the road.

It is unconfirmed what caused the fire, however it was indicated the fire began in the vehicle's cabin.

The vehicle was parked along a section of Banna Avenue which is commonly used for owners to put vehicles on display for sale.

Murrumbidgee Police District crime manager Detective Inspector Eugene Stek said while police do regularly patrol the main street, owners should take their vehicles home where possible to ensure they are properly secured rather than leaving them unattended.

"Take your vehicles home and ensure they are properly secured," Detective Inspector Stek said.

Detective Inspector Stek said vehicle owners should also ensure any valuables are taken out of vehicles before leaving them unattended, as potential thieves could take the opportunity to access the vehicle with ease.
