Police officers from the motorcycle unit quickly arrived at the scene and began searching for the suspects who fled the scene after attacking the victim, a 51-year-old businessman, and taking his wallet containing 11,200 NIS, credit cards, and two mobile phones.
The police investigation revealed that, according to suspicion, the head of the yeshiva from Modi'in Illit and two of his associates met with the businessman, who works as an agent specializing in the sale of military uniforms.
According to suspicion, the three were furious with the businessman after he did not provide one of them with a police report, even though they claimed he had been transferred a sum of money in advance. At a certain point - so the police suspect - the three scheduled a pre-planned meeting with the agent, what is known as a "red hat.".
During the meeting, an argument developed between the yeshiva head and his associates and the agent, during which, according to suspicion, the three attacked him with severe violence, stole money and two mobile phones from him, as mentioned - and fled.
""They attacked him because he didn't provide one of them with a battalion commander. He promised that he would receive a battalion commander, and when that didn't happen, they took out their anger on him," a source involved in the details of the investigation told the Mako website.
The businessman filed a complaint with the police, and the Bnei Brak police station collected findings and evidence. Yesterday, the station's detectives arrested, on court orders, three suspects who were suspected of being involved in the assault and theft - and they were taken for questioning at the police station for assaulting a person for the purpose of robbery and assault in conjunction.
The investigation revealed that the stolen credit cards were used at least twice after the incident. The yeshiva head himself contacted the scene of the incident during his investigation, but denied committing the robbery - and claimed that he was only a witness to the incident.
At the end of the investigation, the suspects were imprisoned and this morning were brought to a hearing at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court, which extended the detention of the three - aged 27, 43 and 44, residents of Modi'in Illit, Mateh Binyamin and Tel Aviv - by three days.
The court prohibited the publication of their names.
