Published
During the night, police set up an ambush in the southern region, aiming to catch suspects who had stolen produce from agricultural farms. According to reports, officers spotted a suspicious vehicle in the area of farm fields and began following it.
When the driver realized he was under surveillance, he tried to escape, and a car chase began. At the end of the pursuit, four suspects were arrested. Police inspected the vehicle and the cargo inside it, and suspected that the suspects were connected to recent theft incidents that had been reported.
Agricultural thefts are a recurring problem in the south of the country, and they harm farmers' ability to work and sell their produce. Therefore, the police are increasing nighttime activity in agricultural areas, especially on nights when many thefts are reported.
The suspects were transferred for questioning at the police station. Investigators are checking whether they are connected to additional thefts in the area. The police have not yet released further details about the suspects or the course of the investigation, and further updates on the matter are expected.
