On Monday this week, three vehicles and a Razor were stolen from the settlement of Bnei Ayish in southern Israel using an unusual method: the thieves did not break into the vehicles or start them, but loaded them onto tow trucks and removed them from the settlement under the guise of innocent towing. The investigation was opened at the Kiryat Malakhi station following a report received on September 14. Yesterday (Tuesday), police received an indication that one of the tow trucks allegedly used in the thefts was again in Bnei Ayish, this time suspected of arriving to steal two additional vehicles. Patrol officers and fighters from the Border Guard's tactical unit were called to the scene, and the suspect was arrested. The tow truck was seized and transferred for further investigation, during which the suspect's involvement in the previous theft incidents is being examined. The article notes that the use of a tow truck for vehicle theft is not new, and mentions a previous case where a Lamborghini was stolen using a similar method.
