"This man was arrested in the past after being accused of stealing from currency changers, but was never jailed," a resident of the neighborhood, who had three mezuzahs stolen from his door posts, said.
The value of each mezuzah is estimated at 150 shekels. The total value of the 130 mezuzah is close to 20,000 shekels.
