Contact Admin. Sondack dismantles slot machine When the action hits, it's fast and furious. After days of planning, hours of surveillance by undercover cops, then choreographing teamwork to pull it off without a hitch, the six-member Beersheba police squad led by Detective Marnina Sondack rushes into the illegal bingo parlor, badges held aloft, stunning patrons and operators alike.
Just two weeks after the illegal gambling parlor opened, Sondack, 39, and her Samag 5 Border Police squad shut it down. There were about 30 or 40 patrons in there, mostly women. We interrogated about 20 of them, detained six at the station for further questioning, and finally, at the end of a very long night, arrested two.
They were the ones responsible for the place," she says. Ask Sondack what she does, and she quips, "I bust whorehouses and gambling dens. For the last 10 months, since Sondack gave birth to baby Otzma, her work as a detective has become even more challenging. I mean, I really love it. But now, at times, it's very hard," she says.

That was the beginning. It changed me enough that I felt I had to do something more active, something to change things in this country. Our synagogue was broken into, and the police came and were asking a lot of questions. I'd looked around, saw what I thought happened, and said to one of the officers, 'Look - I think they escaped that way. So that's what I did. I enjoyed it so much I changed careers with no regrets at all. It was very dynamic, something interesting every day. I love being out there, working outside, catching criminals," she says.
Otzma wakes up first, Sondack says, followed by the three dogs, all of whom want breakfast. Login Signup. Signup Login Contact Admin. Oriana 33 Beersheba. Verified profile.
