Two more suspected brothels found in San Jose
(KRON) — The San Jose Police Department Human Trafficking Task Force recently arrested two human trafficking suspects as part of Operation Coast to Coast, a nationwide crackdown targeting illicit massage businesses. On May 29, detectives investigated two San Jose businesses on the 300 block of West Julian Street and 1800 block of Sheri Ann Circle. While executing search warrants, detectives found suspected brothels and three victims inside, according to SJPD. Three adult women were provided with resources for human trafficking victims. Detectives arrested a man and woman who are suspected of operating the brothels. They were identified by police as Yanqiong Xiong, 39, of Cupertino and Guijun Zhao, 45, of Rosemead. Xiong and Zhao were booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail. More than 100 law enforcement agencies participated in Operation Coast to Coast, targeting 26 illicit massage businesses nationwide. The operation resulted in 74 arrests and 88 survivors rescued. Last year, police found four more suspected brothels around San Jose that were operated inside homes on McKee Road, Palacio Royale Circle, Bonita Avenue, and Gifford Avenue. Detectives went undercover posing as potential clients seeking prostitutes before they arrested several suspects.

‘Simple' traffic stop in Vallejo over high beam lights leads to fugitive's arrest
(KRON) — A BMW driving with its high beam lights on caught the attention of Vallejo Police Department patrol officers over the weekend, leading to an arrest for multiple firearm violations, according to authorities. The officers observed the silver BMW X5 on Saturday driving with its high beams activated, which police said is 'used as a common tactic for some drivers to conceal a malfunctioning headlight.' The car then allegedly made an illegal U-turn over double solid yellow lines before officers initiated a traffic stop for both violations. The woman who was found behind the wheel had a suspended driver's license for driving under the influence, VPD said. Her passenger, a San Pablo man, had a felony warrant out of Fairfield for possessing an illegal firearm. During a search of the man, officers said they found a fully loaded, unregistered firearm with a high-capacity magazine tucked into his waistband. The man was arrested and booked into the Solano County Jail for the felony warrant and multiple firearm violations. The driver was cited for driving on a suspended license and released at the scene. Her BMW was towed. 'This case is a testament to the fact that even a simple traffic stop can lead to the removal of illegal firearms from our streets,' Vallejo police said.

Search in Madeleine McCann case to resume in Portugal
Searches for Madeleine McCann are to resume in Portugal, 18 years after she disappeared from an apartment complex in Praia da Luz in the Algarve. Portuguese and German authorities are expected to continue to focus the search on disused buildings and wells. Madeleine was three when she vanished while on holiday with her parents on 3 May 2007, sparking a Europe-wide police investigation that has become one of the highest-profile missing persons cases. This search - which covers the municipality of Lagos, near Praia da Luz - will continue until Friday across a 21km sq site between where Madeleine went missing and where the German investigators' prime suspect had been staying at the time. Timeline: Madeleine McCann disappearance Madeleine's case was initially handled by the Portuguese authorities with the aid of the Metropolitan Police, but German investigators took the lead in 2020, when they identified German national Christian Brückner as their prime suspect. The 48-year-old is currently serving a sentence in Germany for the rape of a 72-year-old American tourist in Portugal in 2005. He is due to be released in September, but that could be pushed back to early 2026 if he does not pay a fine he owes. The search site is located around 3.5 miles from the Ocean Club resort, where Madeleine and her family had been staying. Roads leading up to the area - which is large and mostly scrubland - have been closed since Monday, where the team had been clearing grass and vegetation. On Tuesday morning, a Portuguese fire engine and four vehicles carrying German police arrived. Firefighters also drained a well as part of the search. The last search took place two years ago and was focused around a reservoir to the north-east of where the British toddler was staying. Brückner, who spent time in the area between 2000 and 2017, was found to have photographs and videos of himself near the reservoir. German authorities suspect Brückner of murder and fear that if he is not charged with anything new he will disappear following his release. British police continue to treat the case as a missing persons investigation. Brückner has repeatedly denied any involvement. German police have a European warrant, which has been approved by Portuguese prosecutors, will allow them to conduct searches on private land. This week's search is expected to span across 21 different plots of land. Officials have not disclosed if they are conducting this latest search in Portugal based on any new information, making it appear as if they are taking one last look in places where evidence or a body could have been hidden Portuguese authorities have also named Brückner as a formal suspect, or "arguido". They said they will hand over any evidence seized in the latest search to German authorities. The Met Police, which said this week that it was aware of the searches being carried out by German police in Portugal, continues its investigation into Madeleine's disappearance. The case, known as Operation Grange, has been ongoing since 2011 and has cost around £13.3m to date. On the night Madeleine disappeared, her parents had been at dinner with friends at a restaurant a short distance away from the ground-floor apartment she and her younger twin siblings were asleep in. Her mother, Kate, discovered she was missing at around 22:00. A German documentary in 2022 found evidence that Brückner occasionally worked at the Ocean Club as a handyman, while German prosecutors have also linked his mobile phone data and a car sale to their case against him. Madeleine's parents marked the 18th year anniversary of her disappearance last month, saying their "determination to leave no stone unturned is unwavering".
