Israeli police arrested two Arab men from northern Jerusalem after large quantities of stolen goods were found hidden in their homes, a police spokesperson said Sunday.
The two suspects, both residents of an Arab village inside northern Jerusalem, were arrested late last week during a joint operation of Israel Police, the Border Police, and the IDF.
During the operation, security forces entered houses in the village, and eventually discovered cars and goods stolen during break-ins in Jerusalem and the surrounding area concealed in the suspect’s homes.
In the home of one of the two suspects, authorities discovered two stolen cars, including a Lexus luxury sedan.
In addition, police found stolen jewelry and cell phones, as well as drugs including significant quantities of ecstasy and hashish.
At the other suspect’s home a stolen motorbike was found.
