Rishon L�Tzion police have arrested two suspects, both 13, for allegedly extorting NIS 8,000 from a 10-year-old boy, accosting and threatening him until the point he decided to take his mother�s savings, fearing for his well-being.

The hoods followed the 10-year-old home, after he told them he knows where his mother hides her money. After entering his home, he threw NIS 8,000 out a window to the thugs below, who used the money to enjoy a spending spree, dropping NIS 3,000 on pizza as well as purchasing alcoholic beverages.

Perhaps no less startling is the fact that when police ran the boys� records, they learned this was not their first run in with the law, both having criminal records. The suspects are currently released to their parent�s custody, ordered to remain under house arrest.
