Three Yitzhar yeshiva students suspected of price tag in Gush Chelab

May 22, 2014   

There are detainees: בפעילות מודיעין וחקירה של המשטרה בשיתוף השב"כ, נעצרו במהלך השבועיים האחרונים שלושה חשודים בגילאי 16 ו-17, תלמידי הישיבה דורשי ייחודיך ביצהר, בגין חשד לביצוע פשיעת 'תג מחיר' ביישוב גוש-חלב. בחיפוש בבית החשודים נתפסו פריטי אמל"ח רבים וציוד המשמש אותם לביצוע 'תג מחיר'. About two months ago, what is known as a "price tag" was carried out in Gush Elab: the tires of over 50 vehicles were slashed, and the words "Only Gentiles are allowed to leave our country" were sprayed on the walls. The investigation of the incident was assigned to the Nationalist Crime Division in the Sha'ar District. During the open and covert investigation, evidence was collected linking the suspects to the commission of the nationalist crime, and today a prosecutor's statement was submitted to all three suspects by the Northern District Attorney's Office. The suspects have been in custody for over a week, and their detention was extended today by an additional five days, during which the state intends to file indictments against the suspects on charges of vandalism of real estate and damage to and sabotage of a vehicle, and the possibility of a racially motivated offense is also being examined.
