Yair Shariki, an Israel News2 correspond and a chareidi himself, reports Israel Police uses unique measures when it comes to having to apprehend a wanted suspect in Jerusalem’s Meah Shearim neighborhood.
A policeman will disguise himself as a paramedic with United Hatzalah and call a wanted suspect, informing him that his mother is unconscious and on her way to the hospital, and he must come immediately.
In this case, the policeman reported his name is Amichai and he is with United Hatzalah. He told ‘Avraham’ (not his real name) that she is on the way to Shaare Zedek Hospital, and if he needs, he will be picked up by a United Hatzalah scooter, free of charge.
Avraham hangs up and then calls his mother’s home, to his surprise, his mother answers the phone and assures him she is fine. She sends him regards, telling him, “the police were just here looking for you”.

Why would a chareidi person be wanted by the police?
hopefully, they catch the misfits without bringing out the hoodlums screaming Nazi!!
Brilliant.
Meh. Standard police tactic. Like free TV’s for a list of felons, arrest those that actually show.
What is unreal?
Criminals are criminals, and must be apprehendend by whatever means work.

Brilliant on both sides. Sad as i am that this is what goes on its kind of a funny situation.
It’s more UNREAL that a frum person committed a crime and is now sought after by the police!
That is cruel but they are much crueler
All is fair in love and war, and for police to go into Meah Sharim is close to starting a war….
Lying is the national sport in Israel and the Israeli authorities lie, deceive, and trick as a way of life. That’s why you can’t believe a word they say about anything.
What’s worse, a meah shearimnik throwing rocks on a police man ,lighting up garbage bins in his neighborhood,breaking glass storefronts of frum shops or a cop lying to a perp?
