A resident of Ma'ale Adumim in her 30s was arrested Wednesday afternoon after stealing a car whose owner had stepped out to buy food at a bakery, according to police. The suspect, who did not have a driving license, drove the wrong way down the street and collided with other vehicles. Police pursued and apprehended her. She told officers she took the vehicle because she wanted to reach her partner in Jerusalem and there was no bus available.
The incident comes about two hours after The Zioneer reported a similar car theft in Ma'ale Adumim earlier Wednesday, where a woman stole a car while the owner bought food at a bakery — that appears to be the same event now detailed with the suspect's explanation. Police released a statement and footage of the damage.
