Soldier indicted for allegedly using dummy checkpoints to carjack Palestinians
Military prosectors file an indictment against a soldier who allegedly created dummy checkpoints near his home in the West Bank, using them as a ploy to carjack unsuspecting Palestinian drivers.
According to the indictment, the suspect on three occasions in March stood armed and uniformed in the middle of a road in the central West Bank and would instruct Palestinian cars to stop under the false impression he was operating a checkpoint.
He stole three cars using the tactic and them left them abandoned on the side of the road after using them for his personal needs, the indictment says.
