As part of a joint operation by the police and the Nature and Parks Authority, police officers ambushed the suspects at the entrance to Yodfat. The two refused to stop and after a chase were halted at the entrance to the city of Araba where four carcasses of porcupines and hunting equipment were found in their vehicle.
They were taken for questioning.
