Tel Aviv police have arrested a 27-year-old local man suspected of stealing at least 50 electric scooters across the city. The investigation began following numerous complaints about scooter thefts, leading detectives from the Tel Aviv South station to uncover the alleged perpetrator.
During the suspect's arrest, police reportedly found a stolen credit card and a disk they claim was used to facilitate the thefts. The suspect was detained and questioned, with investigators linking him to approximately 50 e-scooter theft incidents. The probe also includes charges of burglary, possession of burglary tools, and possession of suspected stolen property, along with violations of legal orders and trespassing.
