Police Stop 12-Year-Old Boy Riding Unlicensed Motorcycle Recklessly
Police in the northern Israeli village of Al-Mashhad apprehended a 12-year-old minor on September 8, 2026, for dangerously operating an off-road motorcycle. Officers observed the boy performing stunts, including riding on one wheel, on a village road.
During a routine patrol, police spotted the motorcycle being ridden recklessly. They intervened to stop the rider, only to discover he was a 12-year-old boy. Further investigation revealed the motorcycle was unregistered and lacked a valid license since January 2025.
The minor was taken in for questioning and is expected to appear before a juvenile court. Authorities also confiscated the motorcycle and banned its use for 30 days.
