A Tel Aviv man in his 30s was charged on November 2 with two vehicle break-ins, theft and using stolen credit cards. Prosecutors also requested that he be held in custody until the end of legal proceedings.
Police said he was arrested near a vehicle in a central Tel Aviv parking lot at about midnight on October 31, 2026. He allegedly broke into the vehicle and stole a cellphone and sunglasses.
Investigators at the Lev Tel Aviv station linked him to another vehicle break-in in the city on October 6. The indictment alleges that he stole two credit cards, cash and personal documents from that vehicle, then used the cards for four transactions at a Tel Aviv business totaling about NIS 1,045.
The Tel Aviv District police prosecution unit charged him with two counts of breaking into a vehicle with intent to steal, two counts of theft from a vehicle and four counts of using a payment instrument with intent to defraud.
