There are detainees: In an intelligence and investigative activity by the police in cooperation with the Shin Bet, three suspects aged 16 and 17, students of the Dorshei Yahudich yeshiva in Yitzhar, were arrested over the past two weeks on suspicion of committing a "price tag" crime in the town of Gush Halab.
During a search of the suspects' home, numerous items of weaponry and equipment used by them to carry out 'price tag' attacks were seized.
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.
