Thug who left Bridgerton actress 'concussed and traumatised' after snatching her phone admits theft
A violent attacker has admitted robbery after leaving a Bridgerton actress 'concussed and traumatised' when seizing her phone. Zacariah Boulares, 18, carried out the theft from rising star Genevieve Chenneour as she sat in the Joe & The Juice cafe in Kensington, west London. The Algerian national pleaded guilty to stealing the phone when he appeared before Westminster magistrates in central London today. He also pleaded guilty to common assault against Carlo Kurcishi, another customer in the same cafe, as well as a separate charge of theft after taking a black leather handbag at a pizza restaurant. Magistrates were told he had 12 previous convictions for 28 offences, all relating to theft. The defendant has now been remanded into custody with sentencing scheduled for June 17 at Isleworth Crown Court in west London. Chenneour has previously spoken of the terrifying moment she fought off the teenage thug who set upon her while she was walking her dog. The actress, who appeared in season three of the Netflix hit show as rumour-monger Clara Livingston, told the Mail on Sunday this month: 'They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did.' The robbery happened when Yorkshire-born Genevieve had stopped at a branch of Joe & The Juice in west London. She said: 'I was left with a concussion just before the Screen Actors Guild Awards and since then, I've felt constantly on edge. 'Even my dog was traumatised - now, if anyone touches me, he panics and tries to protect me. Getting a coffee shouldn't be something you need your wits about you for. 'I'm so grateful to the staff at Joe & The Juice – they were incredible during the incident and when I went back to see them after.' More than 70,000 phones were snatched in London in 2024, out of an estimated 100,000 thefts across the UK. A A source was previously quoted as saying: 'Genevieve showed real bravery throughout. It was a very shocking incident. 'It shows what is happening on London's streets on a daily basis. 'This was just another young woman going about her daily business. She's handled it brilliantly.' Chenneour is a former athlete who joined Team GB's artistic swimming team at the age of 15. She was awarded an Olympic scholarship before the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, but her sporting career was cut short by injury and she retrained as an actress. After appearing as a stunt double in the underwater sequences of period feature Gateway To The West, she landed her breakthrough role in the Regency drama.

As other food pantries struggle, Greater Goods delays growth to keep feeding Philadelphians
Free grocery store serving people in need in Philadelphia seeing increased demand Free grocery store serving people in need in Philadelphia seeing increased demand Free grocery store serving people in need in Philadelphia seeing increased demand Lines are growing longer outside Greater Goods Grocery Store in Kensington — and not just because the food is free. The community pantry is facing a rising need while bracing for the impact of federal funding cuts. Located under the Market-Frankford Line tracks at Kensington and East Allegheny avenues, Greater Goods operates without price tags. Everything inside, from produce to pantry staples, is available at no cost. But the pantry's future is uncertain. "In April, we were only open for 10 days … and in those 10 days, we saw 163 new people," said Margaux Murphy, founder of Greater Goods. She says more neighborhood pantries are shutting down, forcing more families to turn to her small store. "People are telling me they are going to places and the lines are so long they can't wait," Murphy added. Philadelphia's SEAMAAC hunger relief program paused its food distribution earlier this year, citing a need to "secure sustainable funding." Murphy says any organization solely relying on federal aid is now "really in danger." And President Trump's recent budget, which has passed the U.S. House but not the Senate, includes cuts to SNAP benefits. Greater Goods has been able to stay open thanks to private donations — including support from major retailers like Acme and a $250,000 gift from entertainment mogul Tyler Perry. Murphy had plans to expand the store, but she's now putting those plans on hold. "Because of all of these federal cuts happening, I think it'd be irresponsible to move into a larger space and not be able to put food in it," she said. "So we just have to save it for food now." Murphy says her team spends about $2,500 a week on essential items not covered by donations, like eggs, butter and milk. When asked why she continues this work despite the challenges, her answer is simple. "Because there's still a line at our door. It's our job to help one another," Murphy said. Murphy was one of the first people featured in CBS Philadelphia's Spreading the Love series. Years later, she's still showing up for the community, one bag of groceries at a time. How You Can Help Greater Goods Grocery Store Greater Goods is currently in urgent need of hygiene supplies. Donations of the following items are appreciated: Women's and men's hygiene products Deodorant Toothpaste and toothbrushes To support, visit The Sunday Love Project.

Watch live: Parker to sign bill limiting where mobile service providers can operate in Kensington
Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker is set to sign a bill that would limit where mobile service providers operate in Kensington on Wednesday. Councilmember Quetcy Lozada's bill No. 240665AA creates designated areas for the service providers at one spot outside the Police Assisted Diversion office on Lehigh Avenue and another on Allegheny Avenue between Kensington Avenue and F Street. Parker, Lozada and Chief Public Safety Director Adam Geer will be present at the ceremonial signing set to begin at 1 p.m. You can watch live in the player above or wherever CBS News Philadelphia is streaming. Lozada has said residents in her 7th District were tired of the mobile units leaving behind trash and blocking sidewalks in the neighborhood. The bill passed City Council 13-3 and will take effect 60 days after signing, which is July 27, 2025. Critics have argued the bill could worsen the drug crisis.
