Fifteen Israeli youths have been detained for
questioning for a series of break-ins and robberies in Beit Shemesh, police said Tuesday.
The 12-14 year old suspects, who were taken into
custody over the last two days, are suspected of
breaking in to toy stores, a lottery booth, a kiosk and a Hebrew ulpan over the last several weeks, and stealing alcoholic drinks, cigarettes, toys, computers, printers and lottery tickets, Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
The youths also repotedly got drunk on the alcohol that they stole.
The 14-year-old gang leader was brought to a Beit
Shemesh court for a remand hearing on Tuesday.
The other suspects were transferred to welfare
officials.
