Crime in the north: two explosive devices were found in a vehicle near Kabul, and a suspect pulled out a gun during a chase in Tamra. In the first incident, about two weeks ago, officers of the Northern District and National Guard fighters stopped a vehicle for inspection on a road near Kabul and seized two powerful explosive devices ready for use. Police bomb disposal experts were called to the scene, and the suspects were taken for questioning. Today, the police are expected to request an extension of the remand of one of the suspects. In another incident, about a month ago in Tamra, Miteab Abu Heifa, 25, was arrested after a chase. According to the indictment filed yesterday through the Haifa District Attorney's Office, he pulled out an FN pistol with a magazine containing 11 bullets, tried to throw it away, and asked his friends to hide it. He struggled with the officers and assaulted them. The indictment charges him with weapons offenses, assaulting a police officer under aggravated circumstances, obstruction of justice, and interfering with a police officer.
