Two suspects have been arrested in connection with two separate taxi robberies in the West Bank. According to investigators, the suspects allegedly used a similar method in both incidents: they entered a taxi, forced the driver out of the vehicle, and then fled with the car. The investigation, led by the Central Unit of the Judea and Samaria District (Shai), has resulted in a prosecutor's statement of intent to indict, with charges expected to be filed in the coming days.
The case began on September 25, when a taxi driver arrived on foot at the Hasmonean crossing, visibly injured. Police reported that the driver had picked up two passengers in Ashdod and was driving them to the village of Al-Qadis. Upon entering the village, the passengers asked the driver to exit the vehicle, claiming they needed his assistance to retrieve a bag from the trunk. Once the driver was outside, the two suspects fled in his taxi, leaving him injured by the roadside.
During the investigation, suspicions arose that the same individuals were involved in a similar incident that occurred several weeks prior, near the Palestinian village of Deir Qadis. In that case, a taxi driver had gone to the area to pick up goods when the two suspects allegedly boarded his vehicle and escaped with it.
Recently, detectives from the Judea and Samaria District's intelligence unit arrested the two suspects, identified as residents of the villages of Biddu and Tilfit, aged in their 20s and 30s. Following their arrest and the gathering of evidence, a prosecutor's statement was issued, indicating the intention to file indictments and requesting their detention until the legal proceedings are concluded.
