Two detained in Netanya over suspected extortion and assault

Netanya police arrested two men, aged 25 and 33, on suspicion of assault and extortion involving threats, according to a report published by 90FM on October 11.

Investigators suspect the pair arrived with a minor at a local resident’s workplace and assaulted the individual amid a dispute over a financial debt. Police reportedly obtained security-camera footage.

A court extended the two suspects’ detention by three days. These remain allegations; no finding of criminal guilt has been made.
