FEDERALSBURG, Md. — Maryland fire investigators are looking for information after a stolen SUV was found burned on a rural Caroline County road Monday morning, with authorities saying the blaze was intentionally set.
The 2026 Infiniti GX-60 crossover was discovered around 7:14 a.m. near the intersection of Hickory Hill Road and Guard Road in Federalsburg, according to the Maryland State Fire Marshal.
A passerby found the vehicle after the fire had already extinguished itself.
Vehicle Was Reported Stolen From Baltimore County

No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made.
The case is being handled by the Upper Eastern Regional Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal.
