A 21-year-old motorcyclist from Iksal was arrested in Nazareth on Saturday afternoon following a 14-minute police chase that traversed several northern communities. The pursuit began in the city of Nof HaGalil when a police officer on patrol noticed a modified motorcycle emitting unusual noises. When the officer signaled the rider to stop, the motorcyclist fled, endangering himself and other road users.
