Boyfriend abducted woman and trapped her in his home for six months
A Texas man has been arrested after allegedly abducting a woman he was dating and imprisoning her at his home for at least six months. Kenneth Leon Wright, 41, held the victim inside the property with windows nailed-shut and doors locked from the outside so she couldn't escape, ABC13 reported. Wright has now been been charged with aggravated kidnapping and assault family violence. The victim's alleged sister, Shenita Carter, said she had no idea where her sibling was living and that Wright would occasionally bring her to visit family earlier this month. 'He would not give us the address,' Carter told the outlet. 'He would only bring her to my mom's house.' Her sister then called her, claiming she was being abused, Carter revealed. Their mother managed to track down the address and called the police for a welfare check. When Carter arrived, she said she was shocked by the conditions of the home. Carter recalled the front door locking from the outside, no key for her sister and windows nailed shut. '(It's) disgusting, sad the fact that this is how she had been living,' Carter said. 'The windows have nails on them,' she added. Another woman who answered the door at the apartment listed in Wright's court documents identified herself as Wright's current girlfriend and insisted he was 'taking care' of the alleged victim and not holding her against her will.

Hundreds of fake Labubu toys seized over ‘serious choking hazard'
British parents have been warned about 'dangerous' counterfeit Labubu plush toys being sold by rogue traders. The fake toys pose a 'serious choking hazard' to young children because they are poorly made with easily detachable small parts, Rachel Stephenson from Hull City Council's Trading Standards team said. The proliferation of counterfeit Labubus is attributed to the extremely high demand and scarcity of the popular, viral toys. The Trading Standards team has seized hundreds of these unsafe fakes and urged parents to exercise caution when purchasing. Consumers can identify genuine Labubus by checking for specific features such as packaging quality, holographic stickers, QR codes, teeth definition, fur quality, and UV-detectable seals on newer editions. Urgent warning over 'dangerous' fake Labubu dolls being sold in UK

Activist cyclist insists he could not stop his bike from colliding with car
A cycling activist has insisted he could not stop his electric bike from moving into the path of a car being driven through a no entry sign. Michael van Erp posted a video on his Cycling Mikey YouTube channel which shows he was pushing his bike into a west London road when it was struck by a car on Sunday. On Tuesday, Mr van Erp wrote on social media platform X that he 'couldn't… brake a 28kg e-bike once I realised the driver wasn't stopping'. The YouTube video shows the 52-year-old activist initially blocking the car from going through a no entry sign, which was installed at a junction because of roadworks. After gesticulating with Mr van Erp, the male driver reverses and allows vehicles coming in the opposite direction to pass, before driving forward again. The cyclist makes a second attempt to block him, but the motorist collides with his bike and drives off. Mr van Erp's belongings were scattered in the road, but it appears he escaped injured and his bike avoided serious damage. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: 'We are aware of footage circulating on social media which appears to show an incident on Paddenswick Road, Hammersmith on Sunday August 10. 'No arrests have been made at this stage. 'We urge victims of crime to contact the police by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.' Mr van Erp, who has more than 35,000 followers on his X account, regularly films drivers he claims are breaking road rules, such as using a handheld mobile phone behind the wheel. He says since 2019 he has reported 2,280 drivers, who have received a total of £165,700 in fines and 2,649 penalty points. He claims 35 people have been disqualified from driving because of his actions. In October 2022, theatrical agent Paul Lyon-Maris, then 60, was cleared of assault and dangerous driving after telling a jury at Southwark Crown Court Mr van Erp 'jumped' on his car. Mr Lyon-Maris – who has represented Oscar-winner Colin Firth and Lord Of The Rings actor Sir Ian McKellen – was said to have lost his temper when the cyclist tried to stop him driving on the wrong side of the road in the outer circle of Regent's Park in central London.
