Lebanon's General Directorate of Internal Security Forces announced the arrest of a Syrian national in central Beirut who was riding a stolen motorcycle after he tried to flee. The detainee confessed to carrying out motorcycle thefts in the capital's centre and was handed over with the motorcycle to the competent unit for legal action.
One source focused on the detailed official Internal Security Forces statement (the detainee's identity, birth year, motorcycle model, the unit that made the arrest and his referral), another limited itself to the detainee's nationality, the higher figure for the number of stolen motorcycles and how he fled, while the third carried a brief item without details on identity or the incident.
