Caerphilly burglar got into B&Q by climbing through window

David Large, aged 42, stole goods worth more than £5,000, including power tools and Ring doorbells, during two break-ins at the DIY outlet in Caerphilly. He used the ladder to climb in on Sunday, September 10, 2023 before returning again nine days later and smashing his way in through a window at the front of the store. Large, a serial burglar who has more than 100 offences to his name, had an accomplice with him on both occasions but that man has never been caught. The defendant, who was caught after leaving his DNA on the ladder, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary. While Large was on bail for these break-ins he committed even more serious offences in Barry. He stole an elderly widow's wedding and engagement rings before boasting to his ex-girlfriend about it just after he'd beaten her up. The defendant broke into the 92-year-old woman's home in the town on the night of Sunday, September 8, 2024, prosecutor Nuhu Gobir told Cardiff Crown Court. Large then smashed his way back into his former partner's home in Barry where he had seriously assaulted her hours before and bragged that he had stolen a £10,000 ring. 'The defendant boasted he had 'robbed an old woman' and was wearing rings in a necklace around his neck,' Mr Gobir added. Large asked his ex to pawn the jewellery for him. As well as the wedding and engagement rings, he had also stolen his victim's 40th wedding anniversary ring. Earlier, he had punched his ex in the face and held a knife to her neck and threatened to slit her throat after he had been drinking gin. The defendant, of Hansen Street, Butetown, Cardiff pleaded guilty to burglary, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and criminal damage. Before sentencing him, Judge Eugene Egan told him of the Barry break-in: 'This was an extremely serious extremely during which you stole sentimental items from a vulnerable and elderly woman who was 92. 'It was a home she had lived in since 1956, way before you were born. 'Just pause and think about the harm you have caused that woman who was married to her beloved husband. Large was jailed for 56 months and will serve half of that sentence in prison before being released on licence. He was also made the subject of a 10-year restraining order not to contact his former partner and will have to pay a victim surcharge.

US Army sergeant shot five soldiers at Georgia's Fort Stewart, official says

Few details were immediately available about what led to the gunfire, but officials said the gunman was Sgt Quornelius Radford, 28, who used a personal handgun, not a military firearm. Radford opened fire where he worked but officials would not speculate about a motive, authorities said. The injured soldiers are stable and expected to recover, said Brig Gen John Lubas. The soldiers who tackled Radford helped ensure his arrest, he said. 'These soldiers, without a doubt, prevented further casualties or wounded,' he said. The injured were treated and then moved to Winn Army Community Hospital, base officials said in a Facebook post, adding there was no threat to the community. Law enforcement was sent to the 2nd Armoured Brigade Combat Team complex shortly before 11am local time on Wednesday. Radford was arrested at 11.35am, officials said. The lockdown lasted about an hour, and three schools just outside the base took steps similar to a lockdown as well, 'out of an abundance of caution', the Liberty County School System said. After the lockdown was lifted, cars began to move through the normal security checkpoint at the fort's main gate. The army's 2nd Armoured Brigade Combat Team was created in 2016 when the service added more than 200 vehicles to an infantry unit of roughly 4,200 soldiers. Also known as the Spartan Brigade, the army has called the unit its 'most modern land fighting force'. Located about 40 miles south west of Savannah, Fort Stewart is the largest army post east of the Mississippi River. It is home to thousands of soldiers assigned to the army's 3rd Infantry Division and family members. The fort's three elementary schools were locked down, community superintendent Brian Perry told WTOC-TV. The schools have nearly 1,400 students, according to the Department of Defence. White House and Defence Department officials said President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had been briefed on the shooting. The FBI was at the fort to help investigate, said deputy director Dan Bongino.
