An indictment was filed at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court against Nahorai Yaakov Weizman, a young man from Bat Yam, and his 15-year-old minor accomplice, for a series of assaults and robberies in Holon. According to the indictment, the two rode a scooter, ambushed women on the street, snatched their bags using force, and fled. The spree began about two weeks ago at noon, when a woman waiting for a bus was attacked, knocked to the ground, and injured in her hand and elbow. Shortly after, the two used the credit card they stole from her. That same day, around 11:00 PM, they attacked another woman walking on Kaplan Street, apologized to distract her, violently pushed her, and took her bag. Again, they quickly made credit card transactions. The third incident occurred the following evening, when the two rode behind a woman and her husband on Yosef Hanasi Street, asked them to move to pass, then snatched the bag from her shoulder and fled. About half an hour later, they were arrested on Dov Hoz Street. A search revealed the victim's mobile phone with the minor, and a kitchen knife with a red handle and a ski mask were found in the scooter's storage compartment. Weizman is charged with assault for robbery in concert, credit card fraud, and possession of a knife. The prosecution demanded an extension of his detention until the end of proceedings, noting that he denied the acts but identified himself on security cameras. Prosecution representatives emphasized that his release could endanger the public and that the acts could have ended with much more severe consequences.
