Burglars broke into the house of Cabinet Secretary Oved Yehezkel in 
Ramle Monday night, stealing a laptop computer, two cellular telephones 
and a case containing documents.

According to the police, the stolen items did not include classified or 
significant information.

The Prime Minister's Bureau confirmed that the stolen computer was new 
and did not contain any important documents.

The police investigation concluded that the background to the incident 
was solely criminal, and that the burglars had not intended to 
specifically break into the house of the cabinet secretary, or to obtain 
classified materials.

The break-in occurred in the middle of the night at Yehezkel's house in 
the Ramle suburb of Neve David, while his family was asleep. Family 
members discovered the missing items in the morning, and reported the 
burglary to the police.
