Back-to-back bank burglaries in Oakland's Chinatown target ATMs with vehicle smashed into buildings
Burglars in Oakland targeted two banks in the city's Chinatown in smash-and-grab burglary attempts within moments of each other, police said. The incidents happened at around 4:20 a.m. Wednesday morning. The Oakland Police Department said thieves first smashed a U-Haul truck into Sterling Bank on the corner of Webster and 8th Streets, then hit Cathay Bank on Webster near 7th Street. "It's really disappointing to hear that another incident happened last night," said Sterling Bank customer Daryl Yee. "This seems like it's becoming an epidemic in this area where ATM machines are being stolen from businesses and banks." A manager with Cathay Bank says nothing was taken, but there's a lot of damage. Police do not have anyone in custody in the incidents. Despite the burglaries and the shock of seeing all the damage left behind, Yee is not thinking about taking his money elsewhere. "It's happening all over the Bay Area, so there's really no other option," Yee explained. Carl Chan, president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber Foundation, says they need people like Yee to continue to support local businesses. "The survival of our businesses is actually the survival of our city because they generate jobs, they generate tax dollars," said Chan. Chan says the Chamber is trying to help these businesses, but there's only so much they can do. "The chamber has set up some funds to help businesses being damaged," said Chan. "We'll try to do whatever we can. But more importantly, we're asking there to be more resources going into the Oakland Police Department." Huy Nguyen, president of the Oakland Police Officers Association, agrees. "At the end of the day, it has to do with staffing," Nguyen stated. "Our numbers are lower than ever before. In my 25 years, we've never been this low in operational strength." He says on paper, the department has about 650 officers, but only 515 officers are actively on patrol or working their beats. The POA suggests they should have more than 870 officers to meet safety standards. "We are losing five to six officers a month," Nguyen explained. "They are not retiring. They are leaving to go to other agencies nearby." Nguyen says there needs to be a change in the department culture and the way they pursue policing crimes. He also thinks there needs to be more recruiting. Recent statistics show that violent crime is down in Oakland, but Nguyen says that's thanks to the assistance of the California Highway Patrol, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, and the District Attorney's Office, not OPD. Yee continues to be concerned about what's happening, but hopes the community stays strong. "I could see where the community may band together to support each other and become more aware and maybe take some precautions," said Yee.

Jennifer Aniston warns of Hollywood safety concerns after man rammed car into her gate
Jennifer Aniston gave a stark warning about safety after a man rammed into her home gate. Aniston, 56, admitted her security team is "not glamorous in any way," in the September cover issue of Vanity Fair. "It's a necessity." "People are out of their minds," she added. "Who wants to put that energy out there?" Authorities arrested a man on May 5 after he rammed his car into the gate securing Aniston's home, the Los Angeles Police Department previously confirmed to Fox News Digital. The "Friends" star was home at the time of the incident. The man was charged with multiple felony charges but found incompetent to stand trial. Before driving his car into Aniston's home gate, he had been sending the actress unwanted voicemail, email and social media messages beginning in 2023. Aniston's close friend Sandra Bullock insisted these terrifying encounters with celebrity stalkers are not just a "one-off." "The Unforgivable" star once hid in her closet after a man, who had been stalking her for days in 2014, successfully broke into her home. Joshua Corbett, who believed Bullock was his wife, carried a notebook that featured photos of the actress along with poems he had written and a love letter. "It makes me think, 'Do I really have to go outside and navigate the world?' There's the cases where they got into the house, the cases where they're outside the house, the cases where you're on a film set, and they figured out where you are, and the cases that no one hears about," Bullock told Vanity Fair. "It's ongoing. It's not a one-off. And it does create a mindset where your home also, unfortunately, becomes your fortress." Aniston isn't a stranger to celebrity stalkers. In 2010, the "Just Go With It" star was granted a restraining order after a man traveled across the country looking for her. He was detained in Los Angeles with a sharp object, duct tape and love letters to Aniston, according to the BBC. "[Fame is] not real. My interests are other than that." The actress revealed her discomfort with the level of attention she's found herself receiving after three successful decades in Hollywood, admitting the fame "still hits me sideways sometimes." "You have to manage it and put it in its proper place and into its proper size. Because otherwise, if you don't… I've gone through many… I'm still trying to figure it out." The "Along Came Polly" star claimed aspects of the job have become embarrassing, including paparazzi. She even chooses not to let fame define her. "It's not real," she told the outlet. "My interests are other than that." "I've always been more into metaphysical things and 'What if there's something bigger out there than all of us?'"

Sandra Bullock says she was told she couldn't ‘like' Jennifer Aniston: ‘No one wanted the ladies to be friends'
Sandra Bullock said she and Friends star Jennifer Aniston started out in Hollywood at a time when 'no one wanted the ladies to be friends' and female actors were meant to see each other only as competition. Speaking to Vanity Fair for a story on Aniston, Bullock reflected on their relationship and how it began. They first met about 15 years ago at a mutual friend's wedding, immediately struck up a friendship and 'spent the night trading shots and notes'. 'We're just like, 'Oh my God, we need to meet and cut loose,'' Bullock recalled. 'And we did.' They debuted in Hollywood around the same time. After playing smaller roles in films and TV series in the late 1980s, both landed breakthrough parts in 1994 – Bullock in Speed and Aniston in Friends. 'We were from that time in the business where no one wanted the ladies to be friends – it was about pitting everyone against each other,' Bullock recalled. 'We were told we weren't supposed to do that – meaning like and respect and honour each other.' The actors now related to each other not just as women working in the same industry, but over shared frightening experiences. In June 2014, a stalker named Joshua Corbett broke into Bullock's Los Angeles home with a love letter, leading the Oscar-winner to hide inside a cupboard to call 911. This year, a man named Jimmy Wayne Carwyle was arrested after he drove his car through the gate of Aniston's Bel Air home. He had allegedly been harassing her with voicemail, email, and social media messages for two years. 'People are out of their minds. Who wants to put that energy out there,' Aniston said, adding that her security team was 'not glamorous in any way. It's a necessity'. 'It makes me think, 'Do I really have to go outside and navigate the world?'' Bullock said. 'There's the cases where they got into the house, the cases where they're outside the house, the cases where you're on a film set and they figured out where you are, and the cases that no one hears about. 'It's ongoing. It's not a one-off. And it does create a mindset where your home also unfortunately becomes your fortress.' The two actors now work together to make sure they go out of their houses. 'There's a motivation of going, 'Okay, we need to go somewhere. Where are we going?'' said Bullock. Aniston revealed in the same story that she was also close friends with Gwyneth Paltrow. 'Ironically, I went to her and Brad's engagement party,' Aniston told the magazine. Paltrow was engaged to Brad Pitt in the 1990s and Aniston was married to him for five years until their divorce in 2005. She was asked if she ever talked about Pitt with Paltrow. 'Oh, of course,' she responded. 'How can we not? We're girls.'
