BEIRUT:
Judicial police arrested Sunday two men in Mansourieh suspected of robbing cars
in the Beirut and Mount Lebanon areas.
At
around 1:30 a.m., police in Ashrafieh arrested Elias Qortbawi, 20, who
confessed to stealing cars and transferring them to another man, identified as
Rajeh Dandash, in the Bekaa, east Lebanon.
Qortbawi
agreed to help authorities apprehend Dandash and a trap was set for the car
dealer in Mansourieh. Police planned to catch Danadash while Qortbawi attempted
to transfer a stolen vehicle to the car dealer.
However,
Danadash, who was accompanied by his son at the time, saw through the ploy and
tried to flee the area, driving into police cars and firing shots at security
forces.
Police
retaliated after Dandash stepped out of his car and wounded the Bekaa man in
his legs.
Police
will investigate the man after he receives medical treatment.
Dandash is also suspected
of being part of a bigger auto-theft gang.
