Largest theft attempt of past several years thwarted, 27 Palestinians arrested
Israeli Border Police soldiers thwarted what appears to be the biggest theft attempt in recent years in the South: specifically, the attempt included the theft of tens of tons of agricultural produce from the greenhouses of Moshav Shekef, located near the West Bank Barrier.
67 Palestinians have been suspected of stealing tons of grapes and tomatoes.
Border Police investigators estimate that between 20 and 24 tons of grapes were harvested, as well as 5 – 7 tons of tomatoes, which they tried to steal.
