3 arrested for attempted sale of stolen IDF weapon

Two residents of Arad in southern Israel are arrested on suspicion of seeking to buy a gun stolen from an IDF soldier by his teenage brother. The 15-year-old is also under arrest.

Channel 10 television says that the two would-be buyers, who allegedly have connections to the underworld in central Israel, wanted to buy the gun for NIS 15,000 (approx. $4,000).

The 15-year-old brother and the two Arad residents are to be indicted today in Beersheba. Prosecutors are asking that all three be held until the end of legal proceedings against them.
