Israeli police located a stolen car during Saturday night on its way to Jerusalem.
When the suspected car thieves saw the police checkpoint they increased speed, stopped the car at the side of the road and fled the police.
Police and Border Police forces apprehended the suspects after a short chase.
Initial investigations revealed that the two thieves, residents of PA-controlled areas, broke into an apartment in central Israel and stole a car and other equipment. A search of the car revealed burglar equipment, an air gun and equipment stolen from the apartment.
