The car belonging to Israeli host Yael Bar Zohar and actor Guy Zu-Aretz was burglarized in Ramat Hasharon for the second time in just three days. Police officers patrolling the area on Tuesday night noticed a suspect inside the couple's vehicle and arrested him. The suspect, a 29-year-old resident of Nablus who is in Israel without a permit, was taken for police questioning. He is expected to appear in Magistrate's Court on Wednesday for a hearing on extending his detention. Police had been alerted to suspicious activity in the neighborhood and found the suspect in the car.
This incident follows a similar event on Sunday, when a 17-year-old from Tulkarm was arrested for allegedly attempting to steal the same vehicle. Authorities suspect the teenager used an advanced engine computer to start the car but abandoned it while it was running. Police located him in a nearby vehicle, reportedly with the couple's stolen property in his possession.
These events are part of a broader increase in car thefts and burglaries in central Israel in recent months. In response, the Ministry of Transportation and Road Safety recently launched a new digital service aimed at preventing fraudulent ownership transfers.
