Police arrested a 21-year-old Arab suspected of car theft and running a police checkpoint in Baqa Al Gharbiya tonight, following a foot chase and roadblock deployment.
Police received a report of a vehicle stolen from the center of the country and heading north on Route 6. A police car reaching Baka Interchange blocked the road but the stolen car driver swerved, hit the police car, and then continued toward Baka el Gharbiya.
The two policemen in the patrol car initiated a pursuit of the suspect who ended up in custody after colliding with a fence on the edge of the road.
