Please move if a more appropriate section than here. I only share it because it is on a street near to where we live. At that time we were watching Dr Who and heard nothing:

This sounds like an attempt at intimidation by a former friend/partner/business associate. Perhaps the intruders hit the wrong house?

Black burglar wore life-like white man mask complete with fake hair and glasses to commit 30 burglaries in LA​

A black man allegedly used a life-like white man mask complete with fake hair and glasses to disguise himself as he committed dozens of burglaries in the Los Angeles area in the past year.

Police released surveillance images of the suspect wearing the mask and glasses, but something was off.

'It was odd this burglar's mouth was always open when seen on video surveillance,' LAPD Pacific wrote.

Rockim Prowell, 30, allegedly wore the disguise to commit about 30 home burglaries in the Southern California area starting last April.

He was finally caught on May 2 after he was pulled over in Beverly Hills.

That's when police found the mask and other items that connected him to Beverly Hills break-ins last July and on April 20, where he stole flat screen TVs, Beverly Hills police said.

Prowell was arrested and charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of grand theft and one count of vandalism.

A manhunt is underway in a forest in the south of France for a man suspected of a double murder. The man fled two days ago after shooting dead his boss and a colleague at a sawmill in the village of Les Plantiers.

Authorities believe the man may be hiding in the vicinity of the 400-strong Les Plantiers. Earlier on Thursday, the description of the man, who may have multiple weapons with him, was released. He is considered a firearms risk and paranoid, according to French media, including Le Parisien.

According to Le Parisien, a conflict over the roster would have led to the massacre. The French media reports that four families had to be evacuated from the village because it was feared they would be a possible target for the suspect.

The remains of a newborn baby were found in a park in the north Brabant village of Wernhout on Wednesday. It's a girl, police said Thursday. The mother has been summoned to come forward. Police say they are "deeply concerned" for her health.

Police found the body about 5.30pm after a report from a witness. Omroep Brabant reports that the remains were found in a green garbage bag next to a waste bin. But a police spokesman could not provide any information about this.

Breda police also said on the night of Wednesday to Thursday that they were "deeply concerned" about the "mental and physical health of the baby's mother." Police are urging her to come forward.

Drunk man arrested after swinging full colostomy bag at police​

Nicholas Newhart was reportedly drunk at Kid Rock's Honky Tonk Rock 'N Roll Steakhouse in Nashville when police were called after he refused to leave the bar.

The 39-year-old was holding a bottle of beer blocking the outside emergency exit door.

After refusing to obey the police, Newhart then removed his full colostomy bag from the inside of his pants and started to violently swing it in the direction of officers.

Two officers were hit with faeces and arrested him on the spot.

Try working as a prison officer. That sort of malarkey (potting) can be a weekly occurence.

Having them smear it on walls is tolerable. Having them throw it on you is a bit different. Sadly a weekly occurence in many UK jails.

Feuding tyre firm owners shooting at each other?

A law student was "in the wrong place at the wrong time" when she was shot dead amid a feud between two tyre firm owners, a court has heard.

Aya Hachem, 19, was killed in the drive-by shooting in Blackburn, Lancashire, on 17 May, 2020. The incident was the culmination of a long-running dispute between Feroz Suleman, of RI Tyres, and Pachah Khan, of Quickshine Tyres, a jury was told. Eight people are on trial at Preston Crown Court accused of her murder.

Prosecutor Nicholas Johnson QC said: "The bad blood between the men had been building over a period of time and it got to the extent that a plan was hatched to kill Mr Khan and/or someone else at Quickshine Tyres. What happened was planned in detail and involved many people." ...

Naked Woman Nabbed After Minny Standoff

Cops: Suspect never stopped pleasuring self during incident​

Responding to multiple 911 calls about a naked woman “walking around and jumping in and out of vehicles” at a car dealership, Minnesota cops discovered a nude 35-year-old suspect pleasuring herself while splayed across the floor of a pickup truck, according to a court filing.

Police dispatchers last Sunday were initially told that the naked woman was sitting alone inside a Pontiac SUV and that she “looked happy (!) and did not appear to be hurt but appeared to possibly be under the influence.”

When cops arrived on the scene in Mankato, a city 80 miles from Minneapolis, the Pontiac was found running with its driver’s side door open. But the vehicle was empty. Nearby, officers spotted a Chevrolet Silverado with its rear driver’s side door open. They also noticed “feet sticking out of the door.”

Upon approaching the SUV, a patrolman spotted Jennifer Dorit Weber, 35, “lying across the floor of the second row.” The naked Weber was on her back, feet in the air, digitally penetrating herself.

Cops say Weber (seen above) was making nonsensical comments and said she thought she was in St. Petersburg, Florida. Asked what brought her to the Mankato area, Weber replied “to please the boys.” Investigators noted that, “Weber continued to masturbate as she spoke with the officers.”

Over the next hour, police--who had summoned an EMS crew--tried to coax Weber out of the SUV. “Throughout this time, Weber was making nonsensical statements and continued to masturbate,” according to a probable cause statement.

Finally, after “prolonged negotiations,” Weber exited the SUV and was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital. Police say they recovered methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Weber was subsequently booked into the county jail for indecent exposure,
narcotics possession, DWI, and entering a vehicle without the owner’s permission, all of which are misdemeanors.

The Belgian military is the gift that keeps on giving... each month a new shameful f*ck-up. This month a nutcase that could get hold on heavy armor while the superiors were aware of the mental condition and extreme ideology of this man. Last month they accidently burnt down a huge part of a national park and the only guy able to operate the fire truck retired 5 years ago. Last year they blew up a F-16 jet while doing a routine maintenance. Examples are numerous. I wonder what will happen next month...

Arundel Castle: Mary Queen of Scots beads stolen in raid​

"A set of gold rosary beads carried by Mary Queen of Scots at her execution in 1587 was among items worth more than £1m stolen in a raid on Arundel Castle.
The gold and silver artefacts were snatched from the West Sussex castle on Friday night.
Other pieces taken during the raid include coronation cups given by Mary to the Earl Marshal.
An Arundel Castle spokesman said the stolen items were of "priceless historical importance".
The castle only reopened to the public on Tuesday."

Seems a curious crime to steal something so unique.

Seems odd that such 'priceless' item had such shoddy security protecting them.

This group of Romanian nationals in Florida (where else?) stole donation checks from churches and pocketed the money.
NOTE: The 'Though' spelling comes directly from the AP article. I don't know whether it's real, a typo, or the work of an overbearing spell checker.

Operation Though Shalt Not Steal nets church theft suspects

A Florida-based group of Romanian nationals stole $740,000 from hundreds of churches by taking donation checks from their mailboxes and cashing them ...

Four people were arrested and two others are wanted in what authorities are calling “Operation Though Shalt Not Steal.”

The group was based in Orlando, but traveled throughout Florida and other states stealing checks ... In all, authorities identified 636 churches that were victims, including 355 in Florida.

“This low-tech yet well-organized effort to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of mailed-in charitable donations — at a time when donations may have been most needed — has been stopped” ...

The group had numerous bank accounts it used to deposit the checks and then used ATMs to withdraw cash as soon as they cleared. ...
