Residents of Umm al-Fahm were caught with hundreds of kilos of stolen tomatoes

A similar incident occurred last week when a resident of Nazareth and two Palestinians from the city of Jenin were arrested after stealing dozens of kilograms of agricultural produce in Moshav Nir Yafeh in the Jezreel Valley. According to the police, the apprehension of the suspects took place during a routine patrol by Border Patrol soldiers in the Ta'anakh region. One of the farmers, a resident of Moshav Nir Yafeh, reported that a suspicious vehicle with several occupants was identified on his property, attempting to steal crops from his land.

The soldiers hurried to the location mentioned in the report and made their way to the field area, where they identified about 4 suspects loading agricultural produce into their vehicle. During the search of the vehicle, bags and sacks were found containing additional stolen agricultural yield, totaling around 50 kilograms of onions. Consequently, the suspects were detained for further investigation by the Central Unit of the Northern Border Guard.
