Car fires
Two car fires in Leeton on the weekend have left two owners in shock, one allegedly deliberately lit and the other classified as an unfortunate accident.
One owner was awoken at 11.30pm on Sunday after hears a series of loud bangs coming from his front yard in Banksia Avenue.
When he went out to investigate, he saw his car on fire. The fire brigade attended, however the car was completely destroyed.
The other car fire was engine based, according to police.
Returning to a Redgum home from a trip on Saturday around 8.30pm, one driver parked in the garage over some cardboard.
It appears the cardboard caught alight from the heat of the vehicle, and when the owner saw the smoke he attempted to reverse out of the garage, but by then it was too late.
Graffiti

The house, on Drummond Street was sprayed with offensive graffiti between 1am and 8.45am on Saturday.
A car which was parked on Brady Way between 8pm Thursday and 5.50pm on Friday, had words spray painted on its side.
