Videos from the security cameras of the Church of Kosturica de Terra Nosta, in the area of the new gate in the east of the city, show three suspects, but the indictment was filed against one, as there was insufficient evidence against the second suspect and the third suspect was not identified.
"In the Old City, there have been a number of outbreaks of monasteries," said Corporal Rotem Zaken, head of the David Region Bureau of Investigation, adding:
"The commander of the David area, Lt. Col. Nati Gur, assigned the investigation unit to solve the case, and together with the arena investigators, intelligence and camera investigators, they began an investigation that led to the collection of evidence against the suspect.
In accordance with the policy of the Jerusalem District Commander, we invest a variety of forces, resources and means to combat crime and property offenses.
We will continue to act against burglars and other property offenders in order to maintain the peace of the public and its property. "
