Jerusalem police officers arrested two minor residents of East Jerusalem early Monday morning after catching them red-handed breaking into a business on the Hebrew University campus. The suspects were detained at the scene with stolen property.

Officers from the Shalem police station rushed to the location following an alert and apprehended the two minors in the act. A search of the suspects yielded items suspected of being stolen from the local business moments earlier, including tobacco products. Investigators suspect the pair may be linked to previous break-ins at the same location.

Preliminary investigations suggest the two minors are also responsible for another burglary at the same business over the weekend, during which a significant amount of property was stolen. The suspects were transferred to the Shalem station for further questioning and will be brought before a court later today for a remand hearing.
