Pinky Cole's black Bentley reportedly stolen outside new sandwich shop
ATLANTA - What began as a celebratory weekend for Atlanta entrepreneur Pinky Cole quickly took a turn when her black Bentley Bentayga was stolen outside her new sandwich shop, Voagies, on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in Atlanta.
What we know
The theft took place on Sunday, just one day after the Voagies grand opening celebration. Cole said the Bentley had just come out of the shop the day before. Around the time customers were lined up to order at the restaurant, three individuals reportedly arrived on scooters, jumped into Cole's black Bentley Bentayga, and sped away.
Cole shared a video on Instagram showing the scene outside Voagies shortly after the incident. Scooters believed to have been used by the suspects were left on the ground, while stunned bystanders looked on.
Cole claims that police were contacted and asked followers to keep an eye out: "If you see a Bentley in Atlanta, a black Bentley, send me a DM."
The backstory
Pinky Cole, the well-known founder of Slutty Vegan, recently opened a new business in Atlanta's West View neighborhood called Voagies, a vegan hoagie shop launched from the original Slutty Vegan storefront.
Voagies, which is a 100% vegan hoagie shop, represents a new chapter for Cole, who previously lost control of Slutty Vegan due to financial difficulties but managed to regain ownership within six weeks.

Cassie Recalls Diddy's Alleged Threat to Blow Up Then-Boyfriend Kid Cudi's Car: ‘He Was Going to Hurt' Us
During her second day of testimony, Cassie claimed that Sean 'Diddy' Combs threatened her after learning about her relationship with Kid Cudi. On Wednesday, May 14, Cassie (real name Casandra Ventura) recalled Diddy found out that she was dating Cudi (real name Scott Mescudi) in 2011 when Diddy searched through Cassie's emails during a 'freak off.' The singer claimed that Diddy found correspondence between her and Cudi's team about bringing a toiletry bag to a house. After learning about her connection to Cudi, 41, Cassie accused Diddy of lunging at her with a 'wine bottle opener.' Following the alleged incident, Cassie ran out and called Cudi from her burner phone, asking him to pick her up. The rapper came and got her to take her to his house in the Hills. When she returned to a hotel room where she was staying, the space had allegedly been trashed, with urine and feces allegedly found in the bathroom and the furniture in disarray. Cassie Comes Face to Face With Ex Diddy in Courthouse Sketches From His Sex Trafficking Trial Cassie said in court on Tuesday that Diddy 'was going to hurt Scott and I,' with the threats allegedly including Diddy's plans to release two explicit videos of her from a freak off. Cassie and Cudi dated when she was on a break from Diddy, whom she saw on and off from 2007 to 2018. After receiving the alleged threats, she broke up with Cudi. 'Too much danger, too much uncertainty of what could happen if we continued to see each other,' she said while on the stand. Cassie also testified that Diddy threatened to blow up Cudi's car and wanted the 'Day 'n' Nite' rapper's friends to be present when it happened. Following their split, Cudi allegedly met with Cassie and Diddy, where they talked about the car. 'What about my vehicle?' Cudi asked, Cassie recalled. 'What vehicle?' Combs responded. 'And that was the end of the meeting,' she said. In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of repeated physical abuse and sexual assault during their relationship. The filing also claimed that Diddy threatened to firebomb Cudi's car. Diddy denied Cassie's claims in a statement shared by his attorney. 'Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,' Diddy's lawyer Ben Brafman said at the time. One day after the suit was filed, Diddy and Cassie settled out of court. In May 2024, CNN published a hotel surveillance video of Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in 2016. He later apologized for his actions in a video shared via Instagram. Cassie Recalls Diddy Hotel Assault in Day 2 of Her Testimony: Biggest Takeaways Months after settling the lawsuit, Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him. 'We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office,' Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. 'He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.' Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Historic Sleepy Hollow lighthouse gutted by arsonists one year after undergoing $3.4 million restoration: ‘Heartbreaking'
Now they're in deep ship. A group of baby-faced arsonists burned and gutted Sleepy Hollow's beloved historic lighthouse just a year after its multi-million dollar renovation, police said Wednesday. Four young suspects hopped a locked fence leading to the charming red-and-white landmark at around 3:30 a.m. Saturday then smashed a window and climbed into the 142-year-old structure, Westchester County Police Public Information Officer Kieran O'Leary told The Post. Advertisement 5 Police released footage of four 'teens' suspected of setting the lighthouse ablaze. Westchester County Police The twisted firebugs then allegedly lit parts of the bottom floor, which is set up as a museum, on fire and damaged antique furniture and books — leaving behind smoldering ash, broken glass and more than $100,000 in damage, officials said. 'Setting a fire and trashing a place is bad enough. It's also one of the county's more iconic places,' O'Leary said. Advertisement 5 The suspects allegedly hopped a locked fence to break into the lighthouse, according to police. Westchester County Police 'It's a cherished landmark,' he added. 'Everybody in Westchester is really upset about it.' 5 The arsonists broke through a window and trashed the lighthouse. Westchester County Police Outraged locals have since flooded police with tips after cops released a photo of the alleged arsonists strolling over a bridge leading to the lighthouse, O'Leary said. Advertisement The wild vandalism comes a year after the county unveiled a $3.4 million renovation of the lighthouse's interior — including a restoration of the historic spotlight that guided ships away from the banks of the Hudson River for decades. 5 The lighthouse was left charred and gutted. Westchester County Police Built in 1883, the lighthouse at Kingsland Point Park in Sleepy Hollow once housed a family and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. 'It's disappointing, and it's heartbreaking to see this kind of damage that was just completely unnecessary,' Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said in News 12 footage. Advertisement 5 Damage included broken antique furniture, police said. Westchester County Police A Westchester County employee first spotted smoke wafting from the beloved landmark Saturday morning, prompting firefighters to rush to the blaze. The lighthouse is now temporarily closed for repairs. 'There have been weddings and proposals there and it's more recently become an Instagram spot,' O'Leary said. 'There's been a strong reaction to the vandalism.'
