Sharp Rise in Home Burglaries in Bnei Brak
by A. Cohen
Police arrested a thief trying to break into a car on Rechov
Chida in Bnei Brak Monday morning, after he was spotted by a
local resident.
Chief Inspector Ehud Hershkovitz, who executed the arrest,
says the incidence of theft has increased in Bnei Brak
recently. On Shabbos parshas Emor alone 14 apartments
were broken into in Kiryat Herzog.
Hershkovitz attributes the rise to the presence of workers
not authorized to stay in Israel overnight. By day they work
for building contractors and by night they hide at
construction sites and elsewhere, venturing out in the middle
of the night and on weekends to carry out thefts.
