A resident of the north, about 23 years old, was arrested in the Jerusalem area on suspicion of transporting illegal infiltrators (shabahim), after fleeing from a police officer, driving onto a traffic circle and hitting vehicles. The incident began last Tuesday, when an off-duty police officer suspected a vehicle in Motza and ordered the driver to stop. The driver did not comply and began fleeing while endangering road users, drove onto a traffic circle and hit vehicles traveling there, and then fled. Two people were lightly injured. Police from the Har'el station opened an investigation, in the course of which they located and arrested the suspect last night. The illegal infiltrators were also arrested later, and their detention was extended until Sunday. The suspect will be brought today (Thursday) to a hearing on extending his detention in court.
