"An instinct for public responsibility is what led me to react," Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Israel's minister for the development of the periphery, told JNS.
Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Israel’s minister for the development of the periphery, the Negev and the Galilee, caught a thief in the Shapira neighborhood of southern Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
“An instinct for public responsibility is what led me to react,” Wasserlauf told JNS on Wednesday. “This is a problem that has existed in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember.
“This is the second time I’ve caught these types while serving as a government minister,” he added. “My message to residents is to remain vigilant and report any such suspects to the police.”
