Ma'an -- The Israeli court at Kfar Saba sentenced 26-year-old Imad Ubeid, a resident of the West Bank city of Qalqilia, to eleven years in prison on Tuesday after convicting him of stealing 150 cars and reselling them to their Israeli owners.
Ubeid also was charged with 60 counts of property-related crimes, including taking stolen cars into Palestinian Authority-controlled areas, then selling them back to their owners for 3,000 to 4,000 shekels each. Ubeid was said to specialize in deactivating car alarms. He was also charged with robbing 80 houses. |
