The Tel Aviv District Prosecution Unit filed an indictment against a 35-year-old city resident, accusing him of stealing three scooters on separate occasions over recent months.
According to the indictment and police, on June 18 the defendant stole a delivery worker’s scooter after it was parked near a restaurant on Nahalat Yitzhak Street in Tel Aviv.
Three days later, on June 21, he allegedly stole another scooter parked on Nahalat Yitzhak Street during the afternoon.
The third incident occurred on August 14, when the defendant was caught riding a Vespa on Allenby Street that had allegedly been stolen minutes earlier from the Gordon Pool area near the seafront. He was arrested and taken for questioning at Lev Tel Aviv police station.
During the investigation, police said investigators collected evidence linking the defendant to all three thefts. The scooter owners were called to the station and the vehicles were returned to them.
The defendant’s detention was extended several times, and an indictment was filed against him on three counts of scooter theft, together with a request to keep him in custody until the end of legal proceedings.
