Car Theft Gang Arrested in Bekaa
State security forces arrested on Thursday a car theft gang in the eastern Bekaa Valley as part of the implementation of the security plan in the region, reported the National News Agency on Friday.
It said that the five-member Lebanese gang's activities were limited to robbing vehicles and later selling them or trading them for drugs.
They do not have a history of murder or kidnapping, said NNA.
The arrest was made when a Syrian vehicle was reported stolen in the Bekaa region of Taalbaya.
State security forces then dispatched a patrol in the area, arresting a thief who was driving the car on the Ghayda road, east of the city of Zahleh.
The suspect confessed to committing car theft along with four accomplices.
They all later confessed to stealing seven old model vehicles, selling them to a man identified as A.M.
