Police are investigating after two trucks were stolen from Green Island then gutted by fire at Smaills Beach.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman Andrew Norris said a St Kilda crew was called to the Smaills Beach car park at 1.23am yesterday, where two light trucks were ``fully involved'' in a fire.

An informant said no-one else was around at the time of the fire, he said.

The firefighters extinguished the flames in about 15 minutes.

A police spokeswoman said the vehicles were stolen from a ``building yard'' in Green Island.

Police were investigating.

The owner of the vehicles declined to comment yesterday.
