An examination of the car by police revealed that it had been stolen from the central Israel area a short time before.
Early Sunday morning, officers at Samaria’s Ariel station pulled over two vehicles for driving suspiciously. Both cars were Mazdas also stolen from central Israel shortly beforehand.
