Israeli police say a couple from Haifa allegedly used their three children, ages 8, 9, and 1, in a systematic theft spree in Eilat over two weeks, stealing property worth over 100,000 shekels. The mother was released to house arrest after a district court rejected the police appeal, while the father remains in custody.
The Eilat district police have been conducting an unusual investigation over the past two weeks after receiving reports of a couple systematically stealing from stores across the city. According to the investigation, the parents, residents of Haifa in their 30s, allegedly used their children to carry out the thefts and hid stolen goods in the infant's stroller. The father remains in custody, while the mother was released under restrictive conditions after the district court overturned the police request for her detention. The investigation is ongoing.
