Four injured as citizens pursue man through Sydney hardware store in wild chase
Dramatic footage has emerged of a wild chase through the streets of Western Sydney that began with a crash tackle in an attempted citizen's arrest, and involved a hacksaw, butcher's knife and an allegedly stolen hire truck, before ending in heavy morning traffic on the motorway. The ordeal began at a petrol station in Austral on Monday where CCTV captured two locals - dressed in black in the vision above - closely trailing a 51-year-old man dressed in blue. They're seen walking slowly until the man in blue approaches a corner and legs it away from the others. The two locals give chase and one of them manages to tackle the man in blue to the ground in the carpark of a nearby Mitre 10. He isn't able to restrain the man for long, however, and he is seen entering the hardware store. Inside, the man in blue allegedly used a hacksaw to injure two employees and one of the locals who had been pursing him from the start. According to 9News, the locals had been following the man as they suspected him of stealing from businesses in the area. One of the locals, who was allegedly sliced across his ear, is again seen on CCTV when he exits the Mitre 10 and is handed a large knife from the butcher shop at the other end of the carpark. The knife was not used however, as the 51-year-old used the intervening time to escape out the rear exit of the Mitre 10 and allegedly steal a hire truck. According to police, a third hardware store employee was crushed between two trucks when the vehicle was allegedly stolen. That employee was treated by paramedics and taken to Liverpool Hospital. Police were informed of the alleged theft and picked up the pursuit after officers sighted the truck at about 8.50am and followed it onto the M4 Motorway. The Mitre 10 truck was also fitted with a GPS tracker, making the man's movements easy to follow. In the end, heavy traffic proved to be the man's downfall and he was arrested and taken to Blacktown Police Station.

Company that ran bloodstained butchers fined
A company that ran a hazard-strewn butchers shop, where council inspectors found walls stained with blood and pools of blood on the floor, has been fined more than £58,000. Inspectors also found old meat left in a mincer's nozzle and too few sinks for people to wash their hands at Kenya Butchers in West Street, Reading, run by KBH Meats Ltd. The Slough-based company admitted 12 breaches of regulations at the Berkshire premises and its operator, Mohammed Ayub, also admitted 12 breaches. Reading magistrates told the firm to pay a total of £58,330 in fines, costs and surcharges. Ayub, from Greenford in west London, must pay a total of £5,508. Reading Borough Council inspectors also found light switches and taps were unwashed and blood-stained cardboard on the floor. A blade in a bandsaw had been left exposed and ice that had formed in a walk-in freezer left people at risk of slipping, they said. The company and Ayub, 42, also ran Just Fresh in West Street, but did not tell the council they were doing so and were fined for that omission. In March 2024, the council said Kenya Butchers was shut down after "extensive rat activity" was found there. A member of the public had told the authority of their concerns and environmental health officers found rat droppings in "all food handling and storage areas, particularly in the butchery and basement". The company was told on 2 May it must pay the outstanding £58,330 by 30 May but Ayub will be able to pay £250 a month from 27 June.
