The Lebanese army said in a statement on Tuesday that it arrested the leader of a gang responsible for recent bank robberies in the country, National News Agency reported.

The report added that army intelligence arrested the suspect and his partner, identified as Mohammad al-Jouni and Mohammad Ayyoub, and that the former confessed to forming an armed gang which was involved in a number of bank robberies.

The investigations also revealed that Jouni was involved in the shooting that injured a Lebanese army officer when BLOM Bank was held up in the Metn area of Elissar on August 9, according to the NNA.

It added that a stash of weapons and explosives were confiscated from a house in Beirut which was used by the gang after it was raided by army troops following the suspects’ arrest.

A string of armed bank robberies in recent months have hit Lebanon, where several banks in Beirut and its surroundings have been targeted.

    Great news ! These should be jailed with forced FREE labour, like have them sweep the roads (with chains on their feet so that they do no escape and they get humiliated in public) or work in the sanitation departments of several government buildings cleaning toilets for FREE.
    The more the governement catches criminals the more it should have free labour and save the treasury some money. Let’s use the muscles of these punks, at least. Their food and shelter should not be free.
