Tel Aviv police have solved a burglary case thanks to a t-shirt left behind by the suspect. An indictment has been filed against a 47-year-old Holon resident suspected of stealing property valued at approximately 14,000 shekels.
According to the indictment, on October 21, the man entered a first-floor apartment on Daniel Street in Tel Aviv through a bathroom window. While searching the apartment, he stole seven wristwatches, including three Omega watches, ten pairs of shoes, and clothing items. During the burglary, the suspect apparently decided to change his clothes. He put on different attire but left his original t-shirt at the scene.
This crucial piece of evidence, along with other clues, enabled Yarkon District police forensic experts to identify the suspect. On November 8, 2026, the Tel Aviv District Police prosecution filed charges against the man for breaking and entering and theft. A request has been submitted to the court to detain the accused until the end of legal proceedings.
