MK Danny Danon (Likud) called on Minister of Public Security, Yitzchak Aharonovich, to take action against the crime wave in the Sharon region, Israel's north-central coastal plain.
"The Sharon has become a no-man's land," said Danon. "Only a large scale operation by security forces and the insertion of special forces can bring security back to the residents."
Danon's letter to the minister was prompted by the murder of a 61-year-old man, Yitzchak Allenby, outside his home in Avichayil Monday. Allenby inadvertently surprised burglars who had entered his home.
