For the past two weeks, police in the Jerusalem district have been working to apprehend a thief responsible for two break-ins in yeshivos in the Givat Shaul area of the city. The thief made off with money as well as personal belongings of talmidim.

Police launched an investigation after receiving complaints of break-ins, leading to the arrest on Wednesday of a 16-year-old Jerusalem youth.

An arraignment hearing was held on Thursday. No additional information is being provided by police at this time.
