A scooter rider was arrested Monday morning after a reckless chase on Highway 2 near Herzliya, police reported. The National Bike Patrol unit stopped the suspect after he drove against traffic and tossed a bag containing cocaine, marijuana, "Dosa" and "Doctor" drugs during the pursuit.
The rider's license had expired, and his scooter had been previously taken off the road due to safety defects. He was also found to be under the influence of drugs.
The arrest is the latest in a series of police enforcement actions against dangerous driving and drug trafficking on Israeli roads.
