While he was in the Mikveh
DRAMA in MEAH SHEARIM: 15-year-old steals gun and scooter from man in Jerusalem Mikveh
Teen suspect caught near ultra-Orthodox city of Elad with weapon hidden.
Drama unfolded in Jerusalem's Meah Shearim neighborhood earlier today (Sunday) when a man reported his gun and scooter stolen while he was immersed in a mikveh, leading to a dramatic police chase that ended near Tel Aviv.
The victim discovered both his licensed firearm and scooter missing after emerging from the mikveh in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood's center. Jerusalem Police's Lev HaBira station immediately launched a manhunt.
Detectives tracked the suspect to Elad, an ultra-Orthodox city in central Israel, where they arrested a 15-year-old boy who was found: riding the stolen scooter with the stolen gun concealed in his pants and attempted to evade capture.
Police are transporting the teen back to Jerusalem for questioning and plan to request his detention be extended by the courts.
