Police are investigating a burnt-out car which has been sitting in the sand at Dalyellup Beach since Sunday night.

Gelorup Bushfire Volunteer Brigade firefighters were called to the burning car about 9.30pm on Sunday.

Police also attended and the fire is being treated as suspicious.

The car was stolen from a house in Dalyellup sometime between Saturday afternoon and Sunday, according to Bunbury police officer-in-charge Sen. Sgt Mal Jones.

Sen. Sgt Jones said thieves forced their way into a locked garage, before stealing the car which had its keys in the ignition.

He said police were investigating the incident, including whether the vehicle was linked to any other crimes.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen the 2011 grey Hyundai sedan with registration plates 1DSZ279 to contact them.
