The three youths, aged 15 and 16, arrived a few weeks ago at a store on a central street in Holon and vandalized it. The next day, they returned to the scene, demanded money from the business owner, and violently attacked him. The police are now requesting to extend their detention until the end of the proceedings.
An indictment was filed on Wednesday against three youths, aged 15 and 16, residents of Holon and Tel Aviv of Eritrean descent, suspected of belonging to the "SSQ" gang. The defendants are accused of threatening a business owner, robbing him, and violently attacking him.
The indictment follows an investigation conducted by the Holon station in the Ayalon district, in coordination with the youth branch of the Tel Aviv District Prosecution. According to the case files, the sequence of events began on July 27, when the three arrived at a business on Sokolov Street in Holon, threw objects at the entrance, and caused significant damage to the property.
The following day, July 28, at approximately 17:30, the defendants returned to the business and demanded money from the owner. After he refused to comply, the three violently attacked him, causing injuries to his upper body.
Upon receiving a report at the 100 emergency center, police officers from the Holon station arrived at the scene, initiated an investigation, and quickly located and arrested the three suspects. Following their interrogation, they were remanded in custody. The court extended their detention periodically until the evidence was consolidated and the indictment was filed on Wednesday, alongside a request for detention until the end of the proceedings. The court has ordered their continued detention.
