The General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces announced that a patrol from the Beirut Investigation Detachment arrested two Syrian nationals in the Mar Elias area of Beirut after they were seen riding a motorcycle without license plates in a suspicious manner. A white "GR" motorcycle operating with a factory key was seized in their possession, and one of the detainees said he had stolen the motorcycle and two mobile phones.
The detailed reports focused on relaying the Internal Security Forces statement with the detainees' names, the place of seizure and the type of motorcycle, while the other reports limited themselves to a brief headline about the arrest of motorcycle thieves in Mar Elias without details.
