Police in Jerusalem have arrested a 29-year-old man suspected of breaking into a home and stealing a car, after he was found disguised as an ultra-Orthodox Jew. The incident occurred on Saturday evening, November 7, in the Gilo neighborhood. Local residents noticed the suspicious man, apprehended him themselves, and then called the police. According to law enforcement, the suspect was wearing a black and white suit and hat, and had attached artificial peyot (sidecurls) to conceal his identity. Upon arrival, police took the man into custody and reportedly found stolen property and burglary tools in his possession. The suspect, identified as an illegal migrant from Judea and Samaria, was taken for questioning. He was later brought before the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, which extended his detention until Tuesday to allow for further investigation. Authorities are working to determine the full circumstances of the incident and are examining the suspect's potential involvement in other crimes.
