4 teens assaulted, robbed another teen during Norwalk drug deal, police say
DES MOINES, Iowa — Four teenagers have been charged as adults after police in Norwalk say they assaulted and robbed another teen during a drug deal.
The Norwalk Police Department said the incident took place on Saturday, May 24 and started with a Norwalk teen conversing with someone over social media about a drug transaction. A plan to meet in the 900 block of East 17th Street in Indianola was set. Court documents filed in the case say the deal was to buy marijuana and a THC cartridge for $50.

Police said that when the victim showed up to complete the transaction, he was assaulted by four teens. They allegedly threatened to shoot him and stole his cell phone, an iPhone 14+.
NPD said witnesses broke up the altercation, and police were called. The West Des Moines Police Department and the Warren County Sheriff's Office assisted NPD in locating three suspects who were arrested and charged with first-degree robbery, among other offenses. The fourth suspect in the robbery was identified later and arrested.
One of the teens had two handguns on him during the incident. The weapons were seized.
A preliminary hearing for the teens is scheduled for June 2nd.

Teen from Allen, Texas wins Scripps National Spelling Bee with 'eclaircissement'
No éclaircissement was needed after 13-year-old Faizan Zaki triumphed in the 21st round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The teen collapsed on the floor with excitement after correctly spelling "éclaircissement" and securing the national title — not to mention a trophy and $50,000. Zaki's win also coincided with a major milestone: the 100th anniversary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. When spelling the "M-E-N-T" in "éclaircissement," Zaki, who hails from Allen, Texas, was understandably thrilled after coming in second place at last year's competition behind Bruhat Soma, who was 12 years old when he took home the trophy. However, his victory didn't come without drama — Zaki nearly lost in round 18 when asked to spell "commelina." Zaki started saying "K-A-M" before stopping himself and telling head judge Mary Brooks to "just ring the bell," which she did. Zaki got another shot after 14-year-old Sarvadnya Kadam misspelled "Uaupes" in round 20 — paving the way for his win with "éclaircissement." In a post on X congratulating the 13-year-old, the Scripps National Spelling Bee wrote that Zaki "left everything on stage." "He's the GOAT. I actually believe that. He's really good, man. He's been doing it for so long, and he knows the dictionary in and out," Zaki's father, Said Zaki Anwar told ESPN. Zaki's win was notable not only for the final word and the Bee's centennial, but also because it marked the first time in nearly 25 years that a former runner-up returned to win the title. According to ESPN, the last person to do so was Sean Conley, who was the 2001 champion. Zaki and Conley are members of an extremely exclusive club with just five members total from the event's 100 years. The final three in the 2025 competition also included 11-year-old Sarv Dharavane, who would have been the competition's youngest champion since Nihar Janga, who won in 2016. Zaki's stumble over "commelina" and subsequent comeback are not the first examples of drama at the spelling bee. This children's competition has produced a surprising number of historic moments. In 2019, the spelling bee's results were arguably some of the most controversial, as the competition ended with the only eight-way tie in the Scripps National Spelling Bee's history.

Litres of suspected THC worth £2.5m seized in raid
About £2.5m worth of a suspected class B drug, used in liquid form to produce illegal e-cigarettes and vapes, has been seized by police at a home in Greater Manchester. The region's police force discovered five containers of a total of 25 litres of suspected pure THC during the raid in Elm Way, Oldham on Tuesday. Officers also found £150,000 in cash, a Sur-ron motorcycle, and other luxury items. Three adults and a teenager have been arrested on suspicion of drug production and supply, and possession of criminal property, a Greater Manchester Police spokesman said. All three have been released on bail, he added. Officers said they discovered a "professional setup" at the property, with a large number of cigarettes and vapes for wholesale and bulk supply after community-led intelligence. Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is a cannabis derivative and a class B controlled drug which is illegal to produce, distribute and possess. Police said the raid followed "community-led intelligence around the illegal production and supply of THC e-cigarettes and vapes across Greater Manchester". It included reports of vapes supplied to children, who reportedly became unwell after using them. Sgt Tom Layton of Greater Manchester Police said: "We're particularly pleased to have been able to seize such a high value of assets from the property. "But most importantly put a stop to the illegal sale and supply of illicit products which can cause harm in our communities." The raid occurred before a nationwide ban on the sale and supply of single-use vapes comes into force on Sunday.
