A famous former model, who became a key suspect in a series of hotel room break-ins in Tel Aviv, was remanded on Wednesday for three days. At the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court hearing, a complex picture of the night's events emerged, with the suspect allegedly fleeing on an electric scooter.
The first incident reportedly took place at a hotel on Bograshov Street, and the second on 88 Hayarkon Street, where the suspect is suspected of moving quickly from one break-in to another.
In the second incident, the model allegedly opened the door to a hotel room, saw people sleeping inside, and fled immediately. "There is no requirement for evidence of a break-in in burglary offenses," the police officer explained when asked about the absence of signs of forced entry.
The model's attorney argued, "In both incidents, there are no complainants stated to the police. One event was on November 7, two weeks have passed, and no one has filed a complaint. There are no security cameras, no fingerprints, and no identification of the suspect by the complainants."
Police claimed, "The suspect appears to be homeless, did not provide an address, and cannot say where he lives. At the time of his arrest, he was caught with expensive property and had no explanation for it." The officer added that he "has a lengthy and serious prior record of property offenses" and is under a suspended sentence. The police representative stressed the seriousness: "The great danger stems from the fact that the suspect broke into rooms while people were present. The event could have easily escalated and ended differently."
Ultimately, the court extended the model's remand, found reasonable suspicion that he committed the offenses attributed to him, and determined that his actions posed a risk.
