Two reservists arrested for stealing grenades from IDF base
Police detectives arrested two reserve soldiers last night on suspicion they stole dozens of grenades from a military base in Israel’s south to sell to criminals.
The suspects, who sold the looted explosives for thousands of shekels, were initially detained for questioning around two weeks ago during a joint investigation by the police and IDF Military Police, spokespeople for the agencies say.
Last night, police investigators in the Southern District’s investigations and intelligence unit arrested the two in concurrent house raids.
In recent years, theft of bullets, grenades, and other army-grade equipment from IDF bases in the Negev has prompted Israel to increase the presence of Border Police officers in the region.
