$7K worth of Labubu dolls stolen from Los Angeles store

A group of masked thieves stole about $7,000 worth of Labubu dolls from a Los Angeles-area store this week, authorities said. The incident took place early Wednesday morning at a store in La Puente, a city about 18 miles (29 kilometers) east of Los Angeles, the LA County Sheriff's Department said. The department said the suspects used a stolen Toyota Tacoma in the incident, which was recovered shortly afterward.

Funeral director to enter pleas to 63 charges after remains found at premises

A funeral director is due to enter pleas to 63 charges spanning more than 10 years after a major investigation into human remains found at his premises. Robert Bush, 47, faces 30 counts of preventing a lawful burial and 30 counts of fraud by false representation over bodies found at one of Legacy Independent Funeral Directors' sites in Hull. He is also charged with one count of fraud by false representation in relation to human ashes between August 2017 and March 2024, and one count of fraudulent trading in relation to funeral plans between May 2012 and March 2024. Bush is also accused of theft from 12 charities including the Salvation Army, Macmillan Cancer Support, Help for Heroes and the RNLI. The defendant, formerly of Kirk Ella, East Yorkshire, but now of Otley, West Yorkshire, is due to appear at Hull Crown Court for a plea hearing on Wednesday. Humberside Police launched a probe into the funeral home after a report of 'concern for care of the deceased' in March last year. A month after the investigation started the force said it had received more than 2,000 calls on a dedicated phone line from families concerned about their loved ones' ashes. Bush was charged in April, after what officers said was a 'complex, protracted and highly sensitive 10-month investigation' into the firm's three sites in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Huntington Beach Police Department set to launch drone program

The Huntington Beach Police Department says it's improving response time and public safety with its new drone program, set to go live on September 13. The program comes with an annual $120,000 budget, and so far, the department has three drones placed on rooftops, ready to launch at various locations throughout the city. Huntington Beach Police Chief Eric Parra said it's disaster preparedness, helping to locate lost seniors and children, "It's off the charts in terms of how much better public safety becomes because of this," he said. Drone-trained detectives pilot the unmanned aerial vehicles from the police station, allowing for a two-minute response time. At a Tuesday program demonstration, HBPD showed a video of how a drone assisted in detecting a vehicle burglary suspect in an outdoor parking lot. Police said other agencies that have adopted Drone First Responder Programs have reported that drones handled between 20 and 25% of their patrol calls. "The officers that are responding will be able to know what they're going into," Huntington Beach PD Lt. Chris Nesmith said. "They'll know what the suspect is doing while officers are on the way. They can gauge their response and their tactics on the way to the call instead of getting to the call and deciding what they'll be facing when they get there." Nesmith added that the drone program will keep officers safer and allow the department to maximize its manpower. The department assured residents that officers will not use the drones to spy on people's backyards.
