A suspect in a theft was arrested last night, following a report received about suspected agricultural theft in avocado orchards near the settlement of Kfar Chabad. Border Police fighters and volunteers from the Central District‘s Settlements Division were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, the forces identified a vehicle to which a trailer was attached, which is suspected to have been used to load the stolen agricultural produce. The vehicle’s driver attempted to flee the scene in a reckless manner, and after a short time was apprehended by the fighters. During searches conducted by the forces in the orchards, dozens of large sacks filled with avocados, ready for collection and loading, were found. In addition, more empty white sacks were found in the suspect’s vehicle, which are suspected to have been intended for filling with additional agricultural produce. After weighing the seized agricultural produce, it was determined to be approximately 4.5 tons of avocados. The suspect was arrested and transferred for further investigation, and the vehicle, trailer, and avocado sacks were seized.
