Police and security officials Wednesday night at the Rantis checkpoint in the Binyamin region stopped an Israeli Citroen for investigation.

In a search of the car 3 illegal Palestinian residents from Tulkarm and Shechem were discovered. Two were in the trunk and a third covered by a blanket in the back seat.

The driver, a Lod resident in her 40's and the three illegal residents were arrested and interrogated.

The driver will be brought to the Jerusalem Magistrates court for a hearing Thursday and the three illegal residents will be taken to the military court at Mahaneh Ofer near Ramallah.
