NYC woman found a phone buried in her lawn — and police say it's a new tactic thieves use to spy on homeowners
A Queens woman found what looked like a phone buried in her front lawn — but it wasn't just lost property. Mary Kehoe, who's lived in her Forest Hill home for 35 years, spotted the strange device outside. It looked like an Android phone wrapped in black tape, with only the camera exposed — like it was made to watch, not call. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) 'Why us? I had lots of things going through my head as to why they chose our lawn but realized we are in the middle of the block,' Kehoe told KTVZ 21. Experts warn that these kinds of planted devices may be part of a growing tactic used by burglars to spy on homeowners, tracking their daily routines or scouting for valuables. And it's not just an isolated case — similar incidents have popped up across the Tri-State Area. Here's how to identify these devices and what to do if one shows up in your yard. Discovering a hidden device on your lawn isn't just unsettling — it's a serious breach of privacy. And unfortunately, it's happening more often. Police say covert surveillance cases like this are turning up across the country, including in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey and even quiet neighborhoods like Scarsdale. And the tools being used aren't high-tech spy gadgets. 'It could be any type of camera that is digital and wireless. It could be cheap; it could be expensive,' Sergeant Vahe Abramyan of the Glendale Police Department told the Los Angeles Times. 'You can go on Amazon or go to Best Buy to get one.' That's exactly what happened in Garden Grove, where a resident discovered a camera hidden in a neighbor's bush — aimed directly at her home. According to KTLA, the neighbor initially thought it was trash, but inside the bag was a camera and battery pack. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it With these surveillance tactics on the rise, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your neighborhood. 'Put your alarms on, put lights on, and be aware. And we're a nice little block here that we look out for one another, so when people do go away, they let us know so we can take a walk down their driveway and make sure everything is safe,' Kehoe said.'We are now watching.' In Kehoe's Forest Hill community, neighbors are banding together — keeping a closer eye on their lawns, shrubs and anything that seems out of place. Police recommend trimming hedges to eliminate hiding spots, installing motion-detecting lights and staying alert for camouflaged devices that could be stashed in your yard. Burglars may also drive through a neighborhood or pose as salespeople to scout homes and monitor routines. If something seems off — even a strange light or an out-of-place item in your yard — don't ignore it. Report it to your local authorities right away.

Laced and lethal: Fentanyl, meth lead death toll
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Methamphetamine and fentanyl are the deadliest drugs on the streets today, according to Gary Yabuta, the executive director of Hawaii High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area or HIDTA. HPD shares fentanyl-related arrests and recovery stats for May But the danger doesn't stop there. Many illegal drugs are now laced with unknown mixtures, mystery cocktails that can kill in minutes. Xylazine, bromazalam and kratom are emerging new drugs often mixed with other illicit drugs to intensify or prolong the high, according to Gary Yabuta, executive director for Hawaii High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). 'We're seeing a lot of cocktails out there,' Yabuta explained. 'Bromazalam is huge in the mainland. So we're having to keep a close eye on that.' He said xylazine is already linked to seven overdose deaths in the state over the past two years. But the biggest killers remain fentanyl and methamphetamine. They are the most lethal, driving the epidemic.'Those are our two biggest drug threats here in Hawaii,' Yabuta said. 'Methamphetamine (deaths) rose dramatically in 2024 and primarily here in the City and County of Honolulu, that's where we're seeing the increase. Meth is back, and its back very very strong.' According to Yabuta, 260 deaths were linked to meth in 2024, compared to 222 the previous year. Fatalities jumped 26% on Oahu (142=2023 compared to 179=2024). But overall, he said fentanyl overdose deaths dipped in 2024 (107 in 2023 compared to 103 in 2024). Only Oahu saw an uptick in overdose fatalities in 2024 (55 in 2023 compared to 70 in 2024). 'We're intercepting a lot of methamphetamine, a lot of fentanyl pills,' Yabuta explained. 'It's out there and we're just getting the tip of the iceberg. However, we're doing everything we can.' The Hawaii Health Harm and Reduction Center works to combat substance abuse. Nikos Leverenz, HHHRC Policy Manager, said the statistics are sobering. 'We need to intensify harm reduction efforts and access to community-based treatment,' he said. 'Fundamentally, every overdose death is a policy failure.' Leverenz said investing in outpatient community-based treatment can save lives. 'We're fortunate to have a governor who's a medical doctor who understands that prevention works, who understands that treatment works,' he added. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news But he said he worries about how potential funding cuts will impact their work and those struggling with addiction. 'It's certainly very foreseeable that if the federal government cuts funding for community-based drug treatment, then more people will overdose and more people will die. That's the bottom line.'

Attorney: Ex-wife of Rex Heuermann putting on a show in documentary
(NewsNation) — Asa Ellerup, the ex-wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, has defended his innocence in a new documentary released on streaming platform Peacock. In 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets,' a three-part documentary, Ellerup is a central figure along with her and Heuermann's daughter, Victoria. Ellerup referred to Heuermann as 'her hero' despite the pair divorcing shortly after his arrest two years ago, and that she had 'fallen in love with him all over again.' Victoria Heuermann, on the other hand, has said she believes her father is 'most likely' the Gilgo Beach serial killer. Authorities believe they spotted ex-soldier Travis Decker, who is wanted in deaths of 3 daughters John Ray, the attorney for the family of victim Shannan Gilbert, said Ellerup's statements are all about posturing herself to show she had no involvement in the killings. 'This is all for show, and she's being paid a lot of money to put on a show,' Ray said. 'She and her daughter are doing very well at that. This is all fake and her statements are informed by that fakery.' Heuermann is accused of killing a total of seven women, whose bodies were among several found on Long Island, New York. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Heuermann is due back in court June 17 as a judge continues to weigh whether to allow key DNA evidence into the trial. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
