Police Tzion District Commander Bruno Stein told chareidi officials that six youths have been arrested in connection to the Friday night violence and destruction seen in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood of Yerushalayim as was reported by YWN-Israel.

A meeting with the senior police commander and Yahadut HaTorah representatives was arranged by Councilman R’ Yosef Deutsch. Also present were R’ Shlomo Malek, R’ Yosef Halprin and community representatives.

Stein reported that six suspects are in custody, and to date, they remain uncooperative, with the senior commander referring to them as “criminals”, indicating he believes additional arrests will be made in the case. Stein told the participants “I promise you” this will not continue, explaining he plans to come down hard on law-breakers, unwilling to permit them to continue disturbing the peace and continue their dangerous law-breaking activities.
