Fugitive Wanted on 9 Arrest Warrants Arrested in Brital

Security forces arrested at dawn on Thursday a fugitive wanted on several arrest warrants in the Bekaa town of Brital.

"The International Anti-Theft Bureau in the Judicial Police arrested at dawn on Thursday a fugitive in Brital after it was able to determine his location,” the Internal Security Forces announced in a released communique.

The 31-year-old detainee was identified as Lebanese national D.M., and he is wanted on nine arrest and investigation warrants on charges of “forming a gang, being involved in fighting, kidnapping and car theft operations, thievery, and coercion.”

The arrest comes as security forces and army troops have been implementing a security plan in the North and the Bekaa since April 10, to restore stability and end the state of chaos in both regions.

The plan, which was adopted by the cabinet, has been successful in arresting dozens of fugitives and in seizing numerous stolen vehicles and illegal weapons.
