A 26-year-old resident of East Jerusalem has been indicted for breaking into an apartment and a restaurant storage unit in Tel Aviv. The charges, filed by the Tel Aviv District Prosecution Unit, also include a request to extend his detention until the legal proceedings conclude. The incidents occurred last week, and the suspect was apprehended by officers from the Lev Tel Aviv station following an investigation.
According to the indictment, the apartment burglary took place on October 13. The suspect climbed over a fence to enter a residence on Karlibach Street, where he searched through bags and closets, stealing an iPhone valued at approximately 4,000 shekels, clothing, and a credit card. About an hour later, he was recorded making two purchases totaling 150 shekels with the stolen card at a "Tost Naknik Suduch" establishment. The apartment owner identified a hat and tank top stolen from her as being worn by individuals in the security footage.
In a separate incident detailed in the indictment, the suspect used an electric cutting tool to break into the storage unit of the "Malgo and Malber" restaurant. He stole eight bottles of alcohol. Arrest request documents describe footage showing sparks from the cutting tool and the subsequent removal of the bottles. The prosecution is seeking to keep the suspect in custody until the trial is over.
