Last update - 21:45 23/07/2008 7 soccer pros detained at B-G airport for allegedly shoplifting By Roni Singer-Heruti, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Ben Gurion Airport, Israel  Police detained seven members of the Hapoel Bnei Sakhnin professional soccer team on Wednesday at Ben-Gurion Airport for allegedly shoplifting items from a duty free store in the departure terminal. The team was boarding a flight to Spain, where it is scheduled to play the second leg of its second round UEFA Cup tie against La Coronia. While the players were browsing the duty free shelves, store officials grew more suspicious some of them were stealing products, including cigarettes and perfumes. Airport police were immediately summoned to the scene, and seven players were questioned. Advertisement Police searched the players' belongings in order to determine whether the suspicions were founded, while the plane which was waiting on the tarmac delayed its departure. Police eventually decided to release the players and to continue the probe upon their return to the country.
