An alleged crime boss is arrested along with 32 other suspects on suspicion of dealing in weapons and drugs, in a massive police operation that follows a year-long undercover operation.
In an arrest sweep involving over 250 cops and special forces, Michael Mor is detained along with dozens of alleged members of his crime gang from across the country. In searches following the arrests, police seize 13 weapons, NIS 200,000 in cash, vehicles and drugs — including cocaine and marijuana, police say.
Mor is arrested at his home in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv, but he is suspected of heading a crime gang based in the northern city of Nahariya, which police think had recently spread to other areas in the north of Israel including Acre, Migdal Haemek and parts of Haifa.
Police released a video of the overnight arrests.
