'Hot Fuzz' swan rescued from middle of the road
A police officer had his very own Hot Fuzz moment when he was tasked to rescue a wandering swan. PC Jed Raven, Essex Police's heritage and wildlife crime officer, was called to the feathery friend which had been spotted in the middle of a road in Colchester. He likened the unusual incident to a scene from 2007 movie Hot Fuzz, starring Simon Pegg, in which officers were hot on the trail of a missing swan. PC Raven quipped: "It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but I knew I had to wing it." Essex Police said: "The swan is now back to swanning about in its natural habitat, and PC Raven is officially the beak-on of community safety." The force posted details of the incident to social media on 4 August. Follow Essex news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X. More on this story 'Hot Fuzz' swan detained for blocking traffic

New Minnesota laws go into effect Aug. 1. Here's what you need to know.
Several new Minnesota laws go into effect Friday, including restrictions for repeated DWI offenders and housing protections for people who train service dogs. Here's what you need to know about the new laws: People who get a DWI and have a prior DWI in the last 20 years will need to use an interlock device for two years, according to the new statute. The bipartisan law was created after the fatal Park Tavern crash in 2024. Steven Bailey, who had a history of drunken driving violations, plowed into a patio full of people in St. Louis Park, killing two and injuring a dozen others. The new law also states that anyone who gets two new DWIs will have to use the interlock device for six years, and those with three new DWIs will need to use the interlock device for 10 years. It also enhances the penalty for trying to disable an ignition interlock or driving a car without one. It also extends the license revocation period for people who are convicted of criminal vehicular homicide or criminal vehicular operation. The law also adds a gross misdemeanor penalty for driving with a revoked license for a DWI-related offense unless the vehicle has an ignition interlock device. The bill grants people who train service dogs the same housing protections as people who rely on the animals to navigate their daily lives. It ensures that service dogs in training are exempt from homeowners association and apartment rules that do not allow dogs. Before the law went into effect, only active service dogs were offered those protections. Advocates say that one of the barriers to finding volunteers to train dogs is housing restrictions. The bill received overwhelming bipartisan support in both the state House and Senate. Cities and counties can now conduct criminal background checks in a national database for applicants who want to operate an adult entertainment business. The law also applies to people who want to open a massage service. Previously, cities and counties could only conduct an in-state criminal background check. Garbage trucks and husbandry vehicles can now go faster on Minnesota roads. The new law raises the speed limit from 30 mph to 35 mph. The new law establishes some confidentiality protections for people participating in restorative justice programs. The intent of the law is to encourage participants to "share honest information with other parties without fear the information could be used against them." There are limitations; mandatory reporters, for example, will still be required to comply with existing state statues to report maltreatment of children and vulnerable adults.

Man threw petrol bomb at police outside Aldi
A man who threw a petrol bomb at police before pointing an imitation firearm towards them has been found guilty of attempting to cause an explosion with intent to endanger life. David Wiatrowski, 36, used a hammer to smash the windows of an Aldi store in Boston, Lincolnshire, on New Year's Day, before confronting officers who arrived to arrest him. Wiatrowski, of Bradford Road, Boston, previously admitted possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, affray and criminal damage at a hearing in February. He was convicted by a jury at Lincoln Crown Court on Wednesday following a three-day trial and is due to be sentenced on 2 October. Lincolnshire Police said that at the time of the incident, Wiatrowski had what appeared to be a firearm in a holster on his right hip. He shouted to officers to get back in their vehicle as he lit a rag in a bottle and threw it towards them, before making a motion with the gun as if he were cocking it. Wiatrowski fled, but was arrested on 10 January after a member of the public responded to an appeal. According to police, Wiatrowski had no apparent motive for his actions, but told officers he was bored with life and wanted to make a Molotov cocktail – a type of petrol bomb. Officers found CCTV footage of him attempting to fill a drinking bottle with petrol as part of his plan. When questioned about why he had thrown the petrol bomb and pointed the gun, he said he wanted to scare the officers, "to think they were going to die". He also told police he had no intention of entering the store, on Queen Street, after smashing the windows. Det Insp Melissa Rooke said: "This was a calculated and entirely senseless act, carried out with blatant disregard for the impact it would have. "It's no surprise that those who responded to this incident were profoundly affected by what they encountered. Our officers faced an individual whose clear objective was to instil fear and potentially inflict serious harm."
