Three suspects were arrested Monday afternoon near Ben Gurion Airport after a police chase that ended at a gas station, following an attempted car theft in Rosh HaAyin, according to N12 crime reporter Lee Ayash.
The suspects — two Lod residents known to police and an illegal resident from Hebron — were taken into custody by Central Border Police and Central District police officers. Officers seized half a kilogram of cocaine, thousands of shekels in cash, five cell phones, an iPhone, burglary tools, and face veils from the vehicle.
The arrest comes roughly half an hour after The Zioneer reported initial details of the incident, which noted the suspects attempted to dispose of evidence during the chase. The new report provides the precise location of the arrest — a gas station near Ben Gurion Airport — and identifies the attempted theft location as Rosh HaAyin, not the Lod area as initially indicated.
The Zioneer has reported on multiple drug-related arrests in recent weeks, including a 14 kg cocaine seizure last month and a 1.7 kg drug bust in the Krayot. The investigation continues.
