Beit Shemesh police during the predawn hours of Monday, 4 Menachem Av, were summoned to a Ramat Beit Shemesh shul.
Police arrived in time to apprehend the thieves red handed — as they were breaking into the shul. A check of the suspects revealed that are PA (Palestinian Authority) residents inside “Green Line” Israel illegally. They had burglars’ tools in their possession when apprehended.
Police also found a vehicle nearby that exhibited signs of having been broken into. They believe the car was broken into and waiting to be used for their getaway.
