A Jerusalem resident in his 40s was arrested yesterday on suspicion of attempting to steal merchandise from a commercial chain. A municipal police officer patrolling in Jerusalem noticed a man standing next to a wheelchair laden with boxes and a large bag. The unusual amount of equipment raised the officer's suspicion, leading to a stop and search. The man was found to be in possession of packaged items, including orthopedic shoes and pajamas still bearing tags, as well as products linked to a commercial chain in the city. He was apprehended on suspicion of possessing stolen property. Police investigated the chain's branch, where it was confirmed that items valued at approximately 8,550 shekels had been stolen earlier that day. The chain's security manager filed a complaint, and the recovered items were returned. The suspect, a resident of Jerusalem, is being questioned at the Lev Habira police station and is expected to appear before the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court today.
