Police from the Netivot station arrested a 14-year-old boy over the weekend on suspicion of driving without a license and reckless endangerment, according to a report from Mivzaken 12. The vehicle was being driven on its rims—emitting sparks—when officers signaled the driver to stop. He fled, prompting a pursuit, and was apprehended along with two other minor passengers.
The arrest adds to a series of incidents of underage driving and police chases in southern Israel. Over the past two weeks, The Zioneer reported similar arrests: an unlicensed 19-year-old after a chase on Highway 25 (June 15), a 16-year-old on an ATV in the Bedouin diaspora (June 18), and a 15-year-old from Judea and Samaria arrested in Ness Ziona (June 22). Each case involved dangerous evasion and a failure to stop for police.
No injuries were reported in this incident. The three minors were taken into custody; further details on charges have not yet been released.
