Police have opened an investigation upon receiving a report of 3 caregivers at a nursing home in Hadera who pretended to be residents of Israel.

As the investigation progressed, about a week ago, Hadera police officers arrived at the scene and arrested the 3 suspects - residents of Judea and Samaria in their 20s - on suspicion of impersonating others so that they could work there as caregivers while they slept in the nursing home.

The suspects' detention was extended and an indictment has been filed in a Hadera court.
