Police in Tel Aviv have completed their investigation into a 27-year-old resident of East Jerusalem, filing serious charges against him and requesting his detention until the end of proceedings. The man is accused of two separate burglaries that occurred in Tel Aviv within days.

The first incident took place on October 26th, when the suspect allegedly used an electric grinder to cut through locks on a restaurant storeroom in central Tel Aviv. He stole eight bottles of alcohol before being apprehended by police, who also seized the cutting tool.

Just three days later, on October 29th, the suspect allegedly committed a second burglary. He climbed over a fence and entered a residential apartment on Carlebach Street while the owner was asleep. The suspect reportedly rummaged through belongings, broke a glass, and stole a mobile phone valued at approximately 4,000 shekels, clothing, and a credit card. He then used the stolen card for two purchases at a nearby business.

Investigators identified and arrested the suspect shortly after the second incident. Security camera footage released by the police shows the suspect using the grinder on the storeroom lock and making a purchase with the stolen credit card. The Tel Aviv District Prosecution Unit has filed the indictment and requested the suspect's continued detention.
