A weapon on Friday was stolen from a police vehicle near the northern city of Migdal Haemek. Police arrested two 27 and 29-year-old suspects from the area, in suspicion of involvement.
The stolen weapon was located in a police intelligence operation. An investigating officer appointed Friday morning by Northern District Commander Major-General Shimon Koren and Ha'amakim district police Deputy Inspector General Nissim Levy will continue to investigate the affair, due to its unusual severity.

The burglars took advantage of the facility's location – only dozens of meters from an inter-urban highway, which allowed them to escape relatively easily.
A police source noted that no prior information was received about a possible burglary at the site.
