A Tel Aviv resident in his 40s has been indicted for breaking into a yeshiva on Rothschild Boulevard and stealing approximately ten pairs of tefillin, valued at around 25,000 shekels. Security cameras captured the incident. The suspect is also accused of stealing a mobile phone, a watch, cash, and a charity box.
The indictment, filed late last week, details that the suspect allegedly forced open the yeshiva's entrance door in the evening hours at the end of last month. After entering, he proceeded to steal the tefillin, a mobile phone worth approximately 2,000 shekels, a watch, cash, and the charity box, which contained an unspecified amount of money.
Following the theft, police from the Lev Tel Aviv station launched an investigation. Detectives were able to identify the suspect, who was arrested last week and taken for questioning. He was subsequently detained and, upon completion of the investigation, was indicted by the Tel Aviv District Prosecution Unit for breaking into a non-residential building and theft. A request has also been made to detain him until the conclusion of legal proceedings.
The police emphasized their continued commitment to combating property crimes, particularly burglaries targeting places of worship, and to prosecuting those responsible.
