The Fayette County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a stolen vehicle found burning in a brushy area off of Robin Road south of US 50 and the railroad tracks just east of Salem.
The car had already burned up and was just smoldering when Salem Fire Protection District firemen arrived at the scene. When checking the license plate number, the Marion County Sheriff’s Department determined the vehicle belonged to a Mason man and had been stolen in Fayette County.
The fire call came in just before noon on Friday.
