A Palestinian man who worked as a cleaner at a Tel Aviv realtor’s office is suspected of stealing NIS 2.5 million ($658,000) from his employer.
On May 20, 2015, police received a complaint about the missing money, which was partly in US dollars and partly in shekels. The money had been left in a drawer in the employer’s office.
The suspect was arrested after security camera footage captured him leaving the scene with large bags and entering a waiting car.
In the video, the suspect can be seen crossing the street and entering the vehicle.

The worker is reportedly a Palestinian resident who entered Israel illegally and did not have permits to work or remain in the country.
The suspect, who is 28 years old, is a resident of a village near Ramallah. He was arrested in the West Bank at the beginning of January in a joint operation with the special unit of the Palestinian Authority.
Charges are expected to be brought against him Monday.
