Moment model chases down thief who snatched her phone after creeping up behind her on pavement
THIS is the chilling moment a model chases down a brazen thief who snatched her phone in broad daylight. Australian fashion model and influencer Emma Van Der Hoek was targeted while walking alone on a pavement in Highbury, North London on Tuesday. 4 4 4 4 The star shared footage of the terrifying moment her phone was snatched straight from her hand online, stating she'd also had a phone stolen earlier this year. 'This is the second time in three months this has happened – all within my so-called 'safe' neighbourhood,' an exasperated Emma wrote on Instagram The shocking clip shows Emma looking at her phone as she strolls along a quiet street just ten minutes from Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. Looking at her phone, wearing a pair of tracksuits and a long sleeve spotted top, she's unaware that one of her most prized possession is about to be nabbed. Without warning, a masked man dressed head-to-toe in black dashes up and snatches the phone in one slick movement. Emma bravley darts after the attacker but the thief vanishes around the corner. Another man, also dressed in black, appears moments later and follows after them. She shared the footage on TikTok but was shocked to find that many people were blaming her for the traumatic event. Emma found that people were blaming her for the theft rather than the criminal. She wrote: 'The amount of victim-blaming comments is actually insane. Moment TikTok star has phone stolen during live-stream 'People have got so used to theft in London that they've started blaming the victims instead of holding criminals accountable.' In a desperate attempt to get her phone back, the influencer writes directly to the thieves themselves. She added: "If you are one of the boys that stole my phone, return it and I'll delete the video.' She urged anyone with information to message her directly. Fans of Emma were quick to take to the comments to express their horror at the event but gratitude that she was unscathed. One wrote: "Glad you're safe sis." Another added: "So sorry to hear this darling, I hope you can get it back." A third responded: "So scary! I'm sorry this keeps happening to you." The robbery is part of a growing epidemic of mobile phone thefts sweeping the capital. Data obtained by The Sun reveals the worst hit areas across Greater London, with one popular tourist hotspot hit by as many as 37 mobile thefts daily on average. The Metropolitan Police has warned that gangs are pocketing millions, with phone thefts "on an industrial scale". Almost 80,000 handsets were stolen last year - that's up by about 16,000 on 2023. Perhaps unsurprisingly, tourist hotspots tend to rank highest, which is especially worrying for anyone planning on venturing into the capital over the summer. However, hundreds of incidents were reported in typically residential areas up and down Greater London, too. The Met Police told The Sun that criminals behind the problem are making millions by being able to easily sell on stolen devices either here or abroad. "We are seeing phone thefts on an industrial scale," a Met Police spokesperson told The Sun. "In response, we have increased patrols in hotspot areas while officers are using phone-tracking data and intelligence to pursue those responsible. "By intensifying our efforts, we're catching more perpetrators and protecting people from having their phones stolen in the capital. "The Met is also working with other agencies and government to tackle the organised criminality driving this trade and calling on tech companies to make stolen phones unusable. "We are reminding victims to report their phone as stolen as soon as possible to maximise the chance of catching the perpetrator, too often thefts are reported hours or days later."

Alessandra Ambrosio puts on a loved-up display with designer boyfriend Buck Palmer outside as they enjoy casual afternoon in Venice
Alessandra Ambrosio looked more loved-up than ever on Sunday as she enjoyed a casual afternoon in Venice with her boyfriend Buck Palmer. The former Victoria's Secret model, 44, wore a tight white T-shirt and blue jeans. Accessorising the outfit with a black handbag and white cardigan, she couldn't keep her hands off the handsome jewellery designer, 43, when they were spotted outside his shop on Abbot Kinney Blvd. The pair were seen kissing and talking, with Alessandra changing into a brown suede jacket to enjoy a motorbike ride with Buck. The Brazilian beauty held tightly onto her smiling partner's waist as the pair rode a vintage Triumph motorcycle. He cut an equally casually stylish figure in his black jeans and shirt, which he covered with a plaid denim shirt outside his shop. The sweet snaps come after it was reported that the model believes she has finally found 'true love' with Buck. According to sources, the Australian hunk has won approval from the Victoria's Secret model's children. She went public with the romance in early December when the couple were pictured holding hands at an Art Basel party in Miami, Florida. Now insiders have confirmed that the smitten fashion model hopes to be with her new partner 'for her entire life' due to the deep connection they share. 'Alessandra knows who her New Year's Eve kiss is going to be, and she hopes to have the same man to kiss for every New Year's Eve for her entire life,' the source exclusively dished to 'She has been through the ringer in relationships but really truly believes in love and feels like she finally found it.' Opening up about struggles she faced in her past relationships, the insider continued: 'She has been a serial monogamist in a sense and loves being in relationships but has been with men that are resentful of her fame and her money. 'She's been told so many times that she didn't have to work and had everything handed to her and that isn't true. Buck doesn't do this.' The source added: 'He is incredibly successful in his own right as a jewellery designer and of course he designs special pieces just for her.' Meanwhile, the star has already introduced the jewellery designer to her beloved children, daughter Anja, 16, and 12-year-old son, Noah. 'She has introduced him to her children, and they really like him,' the insider noted. 'They are the toughest critics and are so protective over their mom.' Indeed, even the model's friends have noticed that her relationship appears to be a special one as the source added: 'They are incredibly physically attracted to each other and her friends have not seen her swoon like this since [her ex Jamie Mazur]. 'But what most people do not realise is that Ale is also incredibly spiritual and the two of them relate on this level deeply.'

Instagram model Ngone Ndiaye dies after bum lift in Turkey having lost contact with family when she arrived for op
AN INSTAGRAM model has tragically died after getting Brazilian bum lift surgery in Turkey. Ngone Ndiaye sparked concern after her family lost contact with her when she travelled to the country for the dangerous procedure. 5 5 5 Her grieving mum confirmed that she was hoping to have surgery to fix a problem linked to a Brazilian Butt Lift, otherwise known as a BBL. A BBL is used to make the bum look bigger, rounded and lifted. Surgeons transfer fat, inject filler or insert silicone-filled implants. Ngone had nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram and was renowned for her fashion content online. In 2008 she was crowned Miss Pikine after she represented her home city of Pikine, Senegal, West Africa. She had worked with many local stylists and participated in various cultural events. Ngone lived in France before she died. After her remains were returned to Senegal, her grieving family and friends gathered to pay their final respects, local media reports. Many other young women have fallen ill or died from BBL surgery in Turkey. Demi Agoglia, 26, died from complications after a botched BBL in Turkey in January last year. 'Katie Price's BBL doctor nearly KILLED me' - Self-styled celeb 'beauty consultant' charging women £2k for ops exposed The mum-of-three tragically passed away in Turkey after a "barbaric" operation contributed to by neglect with "no proper pre-operative care and advice", a coroner warned. Demi travelled to Turkey for the operation after seeing celebrity endorsements for Istanbul-based Comfort Zone Surgery on social media. Similarly, Hayley Dowell, 38, died following a BBL in Turkey after the surgeon walked out halfway through the op, an inquest heard. She passed just hours later after suffering an embolism while recovering at the BHT Clinic in Istanbul. In August last year, Kaydell Brown, 38 died after paying £5,400 for the procedure, as well as a tummy tuck and a boob job. Brazilian butt-lifts, also known as buttock augmentation procedures, involve injecting fat or filler into the bum to shape it. But wrongly injecting too deep into the buttock can pump chemicals into the bloodstream and cause deadly clots, infections or sepsis. They can also go wrong if the anaesthetic is botched or people have an allergic reaction. What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS 5 5
