Tel Aviv police have redeemed their reputation by the recovery of nearly all of IL 600,000 and foreign currency stolen earlier this month from a police headquarters building in south Tel Aviv. They also rounded up 10 persons allegedly responsible for the theft, among them two women, a veteran burglar known as “The Cat,” and a police sergeant at headquarters who allegedly provided the gang with inside information necessary to carry out the robbery. The eight male suspects have been remanded in custody pending trial.
