Abandoned safe
Security forces locate gun stolen from southern moshav
Group of thieves break into moshav located near Gaza, robbing six houses, and making off with a safe containing a gun; apparently aware forces were onto them, they abandoned the safe during escape; no arrests made.
A group of thieves broke into Ami'oz moshav in the Eshkol region on Friday night and burgled six houses where they managed to steal, along with valuable property, a safe containing a handgun and bullets belonging to one of the residents.
Due to the fact that the moshav is located near the Gaza border, security forces rushed to the scene where a tracker from one of the IDF brigades identified traces left behind by the thieves.
Using the clues, the tracker informed the security forces of possible escape routes the thieves had taken.
Apparently realizing that the forces were onto them, the thieves then abandoned the safe and left the moshav empty-handed.
Shortly after the manhunt began, the tracker located the abandoned safe and returned the gun back to its owner. Nevertheless, the robbers have yet to be found.
