Report: Car of Zahle's Intelligence Chief Stolen

W460

Thieves stole the car of the head of the Zahle army intelligence department on Tuesday, a media report said.

“A car theft gang stole today the car of Zahle's intelligence chief, Lt. Col. G. Gh., which prompted the army's intelligence directorate to launch a probe into the incident,” al-Jadeed TV said.

“The gang left the car and fled the region when it found out that the vehicle belongs to Zahle's intelligence chief,” it added.

Security forces and the army are currently pursuing the gang in order to unveil the identities of its members and arrest them, al-Jadeed said.

Car theft is rife in the Bekaa Valley region, an area known for lawlessness and rivalries between clans over the control of hashish production and trade.

Security forces have launched several crackdowns in the region in recent years in a bid to curb criminal activity.
