Jerusalem police arrested a 29-year-old resident of the Palestinian territories on Saturday night in the Gilo neighborhood on suspicion of attempting to burglarize a home. The suspect allegedly disguised himself as a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jewish man to move around the neighborhood unnoticed. The arrest followed reports to police of a suspicious individual and a suspected break-in.

An alert citizen detained the suspect before police arrived. Officers from the Moriah station took the suspect into custody. A search of the suspect revealed property believed to be stolen and burglary tools. The disguise reportedly included a black and white suit, a hat, and fake sidelocks.

Following interrogation at the police station, the suspect was brought before the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court. The court granted the police's request to extend his detention until Tuesday.
