Gang of creepy prowlers caught targeting home on chilling CCTV
A gang of creepy hooded Scots prowlers have been captured targeting a home during the night on chilling CCTV. Footage from Tuesday May 13 shows a group of three men skulking around a home on Savannah Drive in Tranent during the early hours, before seemingly trying to break into a garage, reports Edinburgh Live. Cameras at the rear of the property caught one person crouched down behind a car in front of the garage, with another standing at the main door to the outbuilding. The owner of the home woke to find the garage door handle broken and the bottom corner of a window smashed. Just minute before, another chilling clip captures the moment the gang walk down the residential street, wearing dark clothing and appearing to point towards a garden fence. Posting several clips on Facebook, the homeowner said: "Some little angels tried to break into our garage last night in the new Walker Homes. Not sure why anyone needs a lawnmower that bad, they could have just had it. "Just wondering if anyone else was targeted. This was just after 2am." The resident confirmed the gang only targeted the garage and the incident has since been reported to the police, who say enquiries are ongoing. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 10.50am on Wednesday, 14 May, 2025 we were called to a report of an attempted break-in to a garage in Savannah Drive, Tranent. Enquiries are ongoing.' Last month, in an unrelated incident, we reported that a "bizarre" burglar was caught on camera breaking into a car - and stealing an Easter Egg. A shocked Edinburgh homeowner spotted the chocolate thief entering the driveway of their Corstorphine house on Wednesday, April 23. The video clip shows the man opening the door of a Mini parked in the drive. Over the next 30 seconds, the unknown man can be seen stealing and unwrapping a Mini Egg easter egg. He then appears to stuff the chocolate egg into his pocket before throwing the discarded rubbish back into the vehicle. The baffled homeowner, who was left puzzled by the footage, said a £400 paddle board lay across the backseat of the car next to the egg, yet the burglar decided to leave it in favour of the chocolate treat. "It was really bizarre," they said. "He broke into my car and took a chocolate Easter egg and unwrapped it all. "He then pocketed the chocolate and put all the rubbish back into my car. There was a £400 paddleboard on the back seat that he ignored. "It felt equally violating and bizarre. It is confusing behaviour." Police Scotland were approached for comment.

Easter Egg thief breaks into car parked at Scots home and nicks chocolate treat
A "bizarre" burglar was caught on camera breaking into a car - and stealing an Easter Egg. A shocked Edinburgh homeowner spotted the chocolate thief entering the driveway of their Corstorphine house on Wednesday, April 23. The video clip shows the man opening the door of a Mini parked in the drive. Over the next 30 seconds, the unknown man can be seen stealing and unwrapping a Mini Egg easter egg, reports Edinburgh Live .He then appears to stuff the chocolate egg into his pocket before throwing the discarded rubbish back into the vehicle . The baffled homeowner, who was left puzzled by the footage, said a £400 paddle board lay across the backseat next to the egg. "It was really bizarre ," they said. "He broke into my car and took a chocolate Easter egg and unwrapped it all. "He then pocketed the chocolate and put all the rubbish back into my car . There was a £400 paddleboard on the back seat that he ignored. "It felt equally violating and bizarre. It is confusing behaviour." Police Scotland have been approached for comment. Earlier this month, in an unrelated incident, we reported that a heartless thief stole 18 Easter Eggs that were due to be donated to pupils at an additional support needs school in Girvan. It is understood that the crook may have even impersonated a member of staff before making off with the eggs from the Premier Store in Girvan's Glendoune Street. The eggs were due to be collected as the school pupils gear up for their popular Easter Egg hunt, but the group were left empty handed. Support worker at Aberlour , Michelle Edens, said: 'We do the holiday play-scheme for Aberlour Children's Charity and we support the additional support needs kids at Invergarven, so it's all very much joined up. 'We don't have a very big budget, but the brilliant people at the Premier Store donated the eggs and they left them aside for each child we support. Eighteen eggs they left aside and now they're gone . 'I went to collect them and a member of staff couldn't find them. Then we were told someone from the school collected them last week. 'One of the girls told this individual 'it's Michelle that collects them' and was told 'I can pick them up for her while I'm here.' 'I am so cross. This is kids with Additional Support Needs, it's a big thing for them. The girls at the Premier Store can't remember what day someone made away with them but she does have CCTV footage. 'We have a very small budget, only a couple of pounds each and this Easter egg hunt was designed to give the parents some respite and the children a fun day. 'Whoever took the Easter eggs, I hope it makes them sick .'

We tried the viral Waitrose croissant Easter egg – here's what we thought
Gone are the days when Easter eggs were just, well, eggs. Marks and Spencer has launched a biscuit-inspired Easter egg, and Waitrose has gone with a pastry. Yes, the supermarket has served up a croissant-shaped treat. If that's not an excuse to have chocolate for breakfast, we don't know what is. Naturally, the internet has been all over it, with TikTok taste-tests being viewed thousands of times. Likewise, here at IndyBest, we were also keen to get our hands on the egg and give it a try. Every year, our team taste-tests a smorgasbord of Easter eggs (it's a tough gig, we know) for our annual review. This year, food writer Emma Henderson munched her way through eggs from the likes of Fortnum & Mason, M&S, Sainsbury's and Asda. Out of the lot, she said Waitrose's croissant was arguably the best 'kitsch design' of the year. With that in mind, it's safe to say this is a strong contender for those looking for something a little bit different this year. Keep reading for what you need to know. Hailing from Waitrose's premium number one range, the chocolate croissant Easter egg is described by the supermarket as 'a grown-up treat'. But what is it actually made of? The egg is, of course, not actually a croissant. 'Much bigger (and heavier) than a real pastry, it's made from white chocolate that's made very sweet,' Emma explained in her review. It has 'caramelised sugar and has some added crunch from feuilletine wafer and little pieces of caramel', she added. 'On top, it's decorated with milk chocolate and cacao nibs'. The egg is made with Fairtrade sourced cocoa and cocoa mass. All in all, this was arguably the best 'kitsch' Easter egg design Emma had seen this year, making it a 'great alternative to a traditional Easter egg'. With Easter around the corner, you won't want to miss out.

'Absurd and surreal': Trump's comments on war hurt Ukrainians in Vegreville, Alta.
Social Sharing Yuliia Kalutska doesn't have the will to talk about plans for her future. She says it's because of rebukes this week of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump called the European leader a "dictator" and blamed Ukraine for starting the war. "It's hard not to watch the news, and it's even harder to watch news," said Kalutska, a 30-year-old Ukrainian who fled after the war began with her newborn son. They now live in Vegreville, Alta., a town east of Edmonton. "[Trump's comments] are absurd and surreal," Kalutska said. "It makes me cry. It makes me feel horrible. "I'm scared every single day." Monday marks the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The U.S. and Russia have been talking about a possible end to the war. Trump has warned Zelenskyy that he "better move fast" with negotiations or risk not having a nation to lead. Zelenskyy has said Trump is falling into Russian disinformation. "We have no idea where this is going. [Trump] is off his rocker. I hate to see it happening," said Jerrold Lemko, a volunteer liaison for Ukrainian newcomers in Vegreville. He said most of the recent talk in the town's coffee shops is about Trump. Many in the town of 6,000, known for its giant sculpture of an Easter egg, or Pysanka, have Ukrainian roots. The community has sponsored at least 125 people fleeing the war. "If I feel this bad, I can't imagine how newcomers are feeling because they have family there," said Lemko, who has Ukrainian heritage. Sheryl Cymbaliuk, finance chair for the Vegreville Stands With Ukraine support group, said Trump's comments have been disappointing for community members. "Social media is littered with the fallacies that Trump has been spreading, so there is frustration, more than we can even imagine when their families are still in Ukraine," she said. Some Ukrainians in Vegreville had hopes of returning to their homes one day. "Now that dream might be slightly diminished," Cymbaliuk said. A march and church service in support of Ukraine are set for Sunday. "We want to remind everybody that the war is not over and that Ukraine continues to need our support," Cymbaliuk said. Kalutska said she'll be at the march with other Ukrainian women who fled the war and have become her support system. She plans to speak and share her story about how she fled with her son and left behind her family, some of whom are on the front lines of the fight. Vegreville Mayor Tim MacPhee said it's important for the town to show its support for the Ukrainian community. "There was a lot of confidence in the community that maybe President Trump would have the ability to put [Russian President Vladimir Putin] in his place and try to bring this conflict to an end," said MacPhee.
