Israeli forces arrested a 42-year-old resident of the territories on Sunday, over three years after a violent robbery in a Holon apartment. The suspect, who had fled the country and was subject to an arrest warrant, was apprehended by IDF soldiers and transferred to investigators from the Tel Aviv District's Central Unit. A Magistrate's Court in the city extended his remand until October 22.
The robbery occurred on August 14, 2023, in an apartment on Degania Street in Holon. According to police, the suspects arrived at the victim's apartment, then 37 years old, impersonated police officers, and presented a fake search warrant. Once inside, they handcuffed the victim, threatened him with a handgun, and assaulted him while demanding he open a safe. Police stated that luxury watches, jewelry, and cash totaling over one million shekels were stolen from the safe before the suspects fled.
The investigation into the robbery was led by the Tel Aviv District's Central Unit. Several suspects were arrested in August 2023, and following the investigation, the Tel Aviv District Prosecutor's Office filed indictments against two of them. The suspect arrested Sunday had escaped and had an active arrest warrant issued against him. He was apprehended during an IDF operation in the territories and, after it was determined he was wanted for the armed robbery, was transferred by the Chashmonaim checkpoint to officers from the Modi'in Illit station in the Judea and Samaria district. He was subsequently transferred for interrogation by the Tel Aviv District's Central Unit.
