Bnei Brak Teens Indicted in Synagogue Silver Theft

Two Bnei Brak minors, ages 14 and 16, were indicted after police linked them to break-ins at a synagogue, a residence and a supermarket over recent months. Reports say the June synagogue case involved the Chernobyl Hasidic beit midrash on Aharonovitch Street, where silver worth about NIS 100,000 was taken from a safe in the rebbe's room. The silver was located and returned to the synagogue, and the Tel Aviv District Police juvenile prosecution filed charges including break-ins, theft, property damage and trespassing. Prosecutors also asked that the suspects remain under house arrest through the proceedings.
