Western Sydney businesses allegedly ravaged by mother and son crime duo
A mother and son crime duo have allegedly ravaged businesses across Western Sydney in a weeks-long crime spree. The 42-year-old woman is accused of 'using' her 18-year-old son and his same-aged friend to break in to almost 40 businesses, including cafes, takeaways stores, supermarkets and barber shops, between May 13 and June 4. Police allege the mother 'used' the young men to 'assist in the break-ins'. 'Hammers were allegedly used to smash windows and doors by men who then stole goods, cash and personal items,' police said. 'Total damage to the businesses is estimated to be up to $150,000.' One of the teens was allegedly caught red-handed a week after investigations kicked off, found allegedly smashing the glass window of a Winmalee supermarket 'multiple times' on Whitecross Rd just after 5am on Wednesday. He was charged with aggravated dwelling etc in company steal less than $60,000 and breach of bail. The 42-year-old woman was arrested in a car nearby and was charged with 38 counts of aggravated dwelling etc in company steal less than $60,000, seven counts of drive licence suspended, and one count of possess prohibited drug. Both were denied bail to face Penrith Local Court on Thursday. Meanwhile, the second teenager was arrested at a home on Sorenson Crescent at Blackett about 10am. He was charged with six counts of aggravated dwelling etc in company steal less than $60,000. He was granted conditional bail to face Penrith Local Court on July 16. A Suzuki Swift, which police will allege was the car being used in all operations, has been seized and taken for further examination. Police carried out a search warrant at a unit on Sorenson Crescent, with several items believed to be linked to the investigation seized.

Mystery woman caught in ‘disgusting' act outside business four times
A mystery jogger has been filmed defecating outside a Perth health clinic on four separate occasions, prompting staff to appeal to the public for help in identifying her. The woman has repeatedly used the doorstep of the Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia (ADSA) in Osborne Park, northwest Perth, as her personal toilet. The clinic has now released security footage of the incidents, seeking information from the public after the series of early morning offences. Initially, staff believed the first incident on December 8 was an unfortunate one-off and sympathised with the culprit. However, the woman was caught again just before 6am on March 20 – this time, nearly spotted by a passing car. She returned days later, around the same time on April 1, pausing her fitness tracker before committing the act. After a fourth incident last week, fed-up staff decided to go public. 'Coming in and finding this in the morning is extremely distressing for our staff,' ADSA chief executive Melita Markey told Nine News. 'We (initially) thought, 'Oh, someone's got in a bit of distress and did what they had to do'.' After multiple incidents, staff believe the behaviour is deliberate, especially given the proximity of public toilets and a 24-hour petrol station. Each time, professional cleaners were called in to deal with the mess, which she claimed posed a 'biohazard' risk to staff, clients, and the public. 'I believe it's a cry for help,' Ms Markey said. '(I don't know) why she targets us … We'd love her to come in and see our GP and see if we can do something to help her.' In a bid to deter further incidents, the ADSA has put up signs and images of the jogger outside the building. The organisation has also urged anyone with information to contact them. 'If anyone has any information or can identify this individual who was caught on security camera, please contact the ADSA,' the organisation wrote online. 'Perhaps we need to leave some jogger doggy bags out!' This incident comes amid a similar case in Adelaide, where a homeowner threatened to publicly shame a woman who defecated on their driveway. After the incident on April 26, signs were posted around Kensington Gardens demanding the woman return to clean up, with the threat of circulating security footage if she failed to do so. The matter was reportedly resolved privately before the deadline passed.

‘Forever grateful': Daughter of Luke Jon Telega shares heartbreaking tribute to father found in bin
The daughter of a man whose body was found in an industrial-sized bin has taken to social media to remember her 'best friend' as police continue to piece together the fateful night. Luke Jon Telega, 45, was found by a garbage contractor behind a Salvation Army store on Percy Street, Hobart about 9am on Monday. He was last seen by his children on Saturday night. 'Rest easy dad,' Harmony Telega shared in her heartbreaking tribute in the early hours of Wednesday morning. 'I know we weren't on speaking terms when you left this world. It was hard seeing you the way you were. 'You were the best father I could've ever asked for, my best friend. 'You helped me when I needed it with no questions asked you were always happy to spend time with me for no reason. 'I will for ever (sic) be grateful for you I love you so so much. 'I will forever pick you to be my father in every life time (sic). Until we meet again dad.' It comes as Tasmanian police continue to investigate whether Mr Telega was met with foul play or misadventure in the hours between his last sighting and his body being found. New CCTV footage has been released in hopes of identifying two people police believe may have information. Authorities would like to speak to a woman captured standing at a shopfront on Percy Street about 7.50pm on Sunday who may have spoken to someone on the street. She was seen driving what is believed to be a light-coloured Toyota Prado. A second woman, also seen on Percy Street at 8.05pm, was driving a red SUV. It is understood the bin the body was found in was frequented by people sleeping rough. It is not known whether Mr Telega, who was homeless, had been sleeping in it. Now his family are faced with finding the money to lay him to rest, with Harmony's friend Lily Hurst setting up a GoFundMe in support of the family. 'I'm trying to raise funds for my friend harmony telega as her father Luke telega past away suddenly and the family doesn't have the funds to be able to give Luke a funeral,' she wrote. 'Harmony and her family would love to give Luke the send of (sic) as he deserves but as funds are tight that isn't an option, if there is anyone that could please help with this tragic stressful time it would be very much appreciated every little bit will help so much.'
