West Midlands woman in Powys car theft wearing slippers
A mother-of-five has been told she will not be sent to prison for stealing a car and tools during an overnight crime spree. Police caught Tarran Wilkes driving away from the theft in Llanfair Caereinion wearing her pink bedroom slippers during the early hours of January 7, 2023. Mold Crown Court was told that the "easily influenced" 32-year-old was "not the architect of this escapade" and had agreed at a late stage to become involved in the thefts. She pleaded guilty on the morning of her trial to stealing Makita tools in Ford, Shropshire and a Vauxhall Insignia in Llanfair Caereinion, near Welshpool. Judge Simon Mills imposed a 12-month community order on the former West Midlands woman who now lives in Devon with her children. "You played a significant role which has left you with nothing but bad memories and the worry of what was going to happen to you," he said on Thursday (June 5). "You've removed yourself a long way from negative influences in your life and you've stayed away from cocaine; it's an evil substance." Prosecuting barrister David Maidstone had told the court that Lee Phillips realised that he'd left his van unlocked overnight on his driveway in Ford and that a drill set, radio and kettle had been stolen. Mr Phillips then checked his Ring doorbell which showed a Nissan X-Trail SUV outside his property. More than 20 miles away in Llanfair Caereinion, Adam Woolley's black Vauxhall Insignia had been stolen and used to steal the tools in Ford. Wilkes and her accomplice Chelsea Ross had dropped off two men in Llanfair Caereinion who later stole the Vauxhall in Pool Road. The women were already driving back to the West Midlands in the Nissan X-Trial when police stopped them in Westbury, near Shrewsbury and found Mr Phillips' tools in the back of the car. Following her arrest, Wilkes protested her innocence claiming that she had picked up Ross from her grandmother's caravan, followed by giving police different accounts about what happened. Police were able to pinpoint where Wilkes had been that evening through mobile phone data. Lee Phillips said in a statement read out in court that he was "extremely pleased" to receive his tools back which would have cost £500 to replace. However, the theft has made him "extremely paranoid". Adam Woolley said the theft has left a "significant" impact on his mental and physical health with sleepless nights and panic attacks. Defence barrister Andrew Jebb told the court that the case had taken a year-and-a-half from Wilkes' arrest to the first hearing at the magistrates' court in October 2024. "This was not Miss Wilkes' plan," he said. "She was not the architect of this escapade. "When she was arrested, she was in her pink bedroom slippers driving the vehicle. She agreed at a late stage to become involved, and she knows she never should have agreed to become involved and knows she will be punished for getting involved." Mr Jebb added that Wilkes' had moved away from the West Midlands with her young family to Devon in late 2023. "Your honour will have read the tragic events of 2014, and it was these events that in fact link to her very brief period of using cocaine," he said. He added that during her journey to court she had separated from her husband. "From this point onward she is likely to be a single mother again to these five children and will need assistance and guidance of the Probation Service because now her former husband may seek to renew contact which she most certainly doesn't want to happen," he added. Sentencing Wilkes, Judge Simon Mills told the mother-of-five that will not be going to prison for the thefts. Even though her behaviour was "serious", the judge said he had considered Wilkes turning her life around, bringing up five children on her own, no convictions since appearing in court and that it had been more than two years since the thefts. "I'm not going to impose a punishment which you're not going to complete," he said. "You live a long way away from here. You've just become a single mother. Your very straightened financial circumstances which are only going to get harder." Wilkes, of Barnstaple, Devon, must pay Vauxhall Insignia owner Adam Woolley £160 for his work uniform which had not been recovered. Wilkes' co-accused Chelsea Ross, of Mill Street, Willenhall, near Wolverhampton was jailed for five weeks in April for the same offences and handling stolen goods in January 2023.

Magic launch new era with throwback-style jerseys for 2025-26 season
The post Magic launch new era with throwback-style jerseys for 2025-26 season appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Orlando Magic officially unveiled a new logo and three redesigned uniforms on Tuesday as part of a rebranding initiative ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season. With rising stars Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner leading the way, the updates blend modern design with classic elements, reinforcing the franchise's identity while honoring its roots. Advertisement In a press release, the Magic announced the return of a fan-favorite franchise symbol: the star. The redesigned primary logo reintroduces the iconic star motif, which now features a 'new-look' cascading trail. The letter 'A' in both 'Orlando' and 'Magic' has also been replaced with a star, giving the updated wordmark a nostalgic yet refreshed look. The team's traditional color palette — Magic blue, Magic black and Magic silver — remains unchanged. 'The new logo fondly revisits the Magic's history making an iconic and fan-favorite franchise symbol 'the star' once again,' the team said in its statement. 'The logo evolves with a nod towards nostalgia featuring a legendary, star-centric logo displaying a 'reach for the stars' mentality to match the team's championship ideals.' The secondary logo now shows a star behind a basketball in motion, intended to reflect the franchise's forward momentum and continued growth since its founding in 1989. Magic unveil throwback-inspired uniforms with bold pinstripes and star accents Alongside the updated branding, the team revealed three new uniforms for the upcoming season: the Association (white), Icon (blue) and Statement (black) editions. The uniforms are described as 'modern classics' that pay homage to the team's most iconic looks while ushering in a new era of Magic basketball. Advertisement 'The three new uniforms… have evolved into modern classics, honoring the rich history of the Magic's most iconic jerseys while ushering in a new era of Orlando Magic basketball,' the team said. 'With the return of the bold pinstripes, the MAGIC and ORLANDO wordmarks, uniform trim and bold star on the shorts… the uniforms are a nostalgic tribute to a favorite of the Magic's fanbase.' The Statement edition stands out as the only Jordan Brand uniform in the lineup. It draws direct inspiration from the team's original on-court warm-up jackets and includes bold pinstripes and the new star icon prominently featured on the shorts. Magic rebrand reflects championship aspirations and fan-driven vision Magic Executive Vice President of Marketing and Social Responsibility Shelly Wilkes emphasized the connection between the new designs and the franchise's long-term goals. Advertisement 'The Orlando Magic's mission is to be world champions on and off the court,' Wilkes said. 'The logo and uniforms are an extension of that mission and a direct reflection of the excellence our organization strives for from our ownership to our staff, coaches and players.' Wilkes also noted the role of fan feedback in shaping the rebrand. 'Based on fan feedback, the new logo was a collaboration and really a labor of love… This logo and new uniforms signify the beginning of a new era of excellence for the Magic while paying homage to the past.' The rebrand was celebrated during a special event at Kia Center on Tuesday and will continue with a fan showcase later in the day. As the Magic gear up for a pivotal offseason, the organization appears poised to shift into 'win-now' mode. With Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner anchoring a promising young core, Orlando holds the No. 16 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, set for June 25–26 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The draft begins at 8:00 p.m. ET and will air on ABC and ESPN.
