Arab thieves stole equipment belonging to the Adei Ad community, near Shilo. Residents told Arutz 7 that police arrived on the scene only after a lengthy delay. They took statements from residents and said they would open an investigation into the theft.

A short time later, a large police contingent did materialize – not to investigate the robbery complaints of the Adei Ad residents, but to investigate them over complaints by local Arabs, that they had uprooted dozens of olive trees on Arab owned property. Police opened up an investigation on that complaint ss well.
