An ATV rider without a helmet fled police officers in a life-threatening manner during an enforcement operation by the Yoav Unit and the air unit before being arrested, Israel Police said. He was identified as a 16-year-old resident of the Bedouin diaspora who has never held a driver's license.
The arrest took place Thursday evening during an enforcement operation by the Yoav Unit, supported by the air unit, Israel Police said. The suspect, a 16-year-old resident of the Bedouin diaspora who had never obtained a driver's license, fled officers on an ATV without a helmet in a manner that police described as life-threatening. The arrest follows two similar incidents in recent days reported by The Zioneer: on June 14, police arrested an unlicensed driver after a chase on Highway 25, and on June 15, a 19-year-old was arrested under similar circumstances in the same area. The police did not specify the exact location of Thursday's incident beyond the Bedouin diaspora area in southern Israel.
