A burglar dressed as a chareidi male was apprehended on Shabbos in Yishuv Magshimim while trying to break into a home.

The incident occurred during the afternoon hours on Shabbos Parshas Tetzaveh 5774 as the man who appeared chareidi tried getting into a home via a living room door. When a passerby stopped and asked him what he was doing, he stated he was on his way to a bris and mistakenly came to the wrong building.

The burglar left that home and tried his luck elsewhere in the community, but this time his actions triggered an alarm and he was apprehended in a matter of minutes by residents and handed over to Petach Tikvah police.
