Police Arrest Second Suspect in Attempted Car Theft from Israeli Couple's Vehicle

Police in Ramat Hasharon arrested a 29-year-old resident of Nablus, who was in Israel illegally, after he was caught attempting to steal a car belonging to Israeli television personalities Yael Bar Zohar and Guy Zuarz. The suspect was found in the driver's seat of their vehicle in the Neve Magan neighborhood with a pirated ignition device connected, apparently intending to bypass security systems and steal the car. Police suspect the arrested individual is involved in other car theft incidents in the Gush Dan area and will seek to extend his detention. This is the second such incident in the same parking lot within a week. Last weekend, a 17-year-old from Tulkarm, also an illegal resident, was apprehended after a car intrusion was detected by the "Ituran" tracking company. In that case, the minor managed to start the vehicle but then moved to an adjacent car, possibly intending to steal both with an accomplice. Authorities believe the suspects are part of an organized car theft ring and are facing charges of illegal presence, conspiracy to commit a crime, and attempted car theft. Investigations are ongoing to map entry routes into Israel and identify additional accomplices.
