A former Palestinian policeman was arrested on Monday after falling in a trap set up by the Israel Police.
Police detectives parked a car with a white bag containing a laptop and a cellphone on a Sderot street and set up a lookout. Shortly after 1pm, the suspect was seen approaching the vehicle, open the back door and steal the bag.
Detectives came out of their hiding place and caught the 21-year-old Dura resident, who is staying in Israel illegally, red handed.
