Man arrested for trying to scale fence at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, Secret Service says
Police in Florida arrested a man who allegedly climbed a fence and tried to enter President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club early Tuesday, the Secret Service said. The alleged intruder — described only as an adult male — "scaled a perimeter fence and triggered alarms" shortly after midnight on Tuesday, a Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News. He was detained by the Secret Service "without incident" before local police in Palm Beach took him into custody and charged him with trespassing, according to the spokesperson. The arrested man allegedly told local police he hoped to speak with Mr. Trump about "the gospel" and wanted to marry his 18-year-old granddaughter, according to an arrest report obtained by the Palm Beach Daily News. CBS News has reached out to the Palm Beach Police Department. Mr. Trump was in Washington during the incident. "No Secret Service protectees were present at the time of this incident," according to the agency. It's not the first time that Mar-a-Lago has faced security incidents. A man allegedly tried to enter the property repeatedly last year, both before and after the election, and two different people were arrested for trespassing during Mr. Trump's first term in 2019. And Ryan Routh was charged last year with trying to kill Mr. Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, a few miles from Mar-a-Lago. Authorities say Routh — who has pleaded not guilty — aimed a rifle through the bushes at the edge of the property, but fled after he was spotted by the Secret Service. That was the second attempt on Mr. Trump's life last year.

Community engagement, education helping Strathcona County residents avoid crypto scams: RCMP
Strathcona County RCMP is reporting a large decrease in the money lost in the community from crypto scams compared to the year before. RCMP attributed this decline to its community engagement and education on crypto fraud. In a news release on Tuesday, police said between January and April in 2024, the reported loss to crypto-related scams in the county was almost $400,000. In the same period this year, the loss was around $240,000. RCMP members have visited local schools, seniors' groups, and community organizations to teach residents to recognize and report scams. These presentations have focused on identifying common crypto scams, like fake investment opportunities, romance scams, and fraudulent calls from scammers claiming to be law enforcement or government officials. Police said that legitimate government agencies will never request payment in the form of cryptocurrency. In the release, RCMP said that if someone has been targeted by a scam, they should report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or local police.

Why you can trust Sky News A cargo ship has crashed into a man's front garden in Norway, missing his home, where he was sleeping, by just a few metres. Johan Helber had been sound asleep when a 135m long container ship ran aground Thursday morning in the Trondheimsfjord off Byneset in Trondheim. No injuries or oil spills have been reported and authorities plan to remove the ship at high tide. Pictures show how close the huge ship came to splintering through Mr Helber's home. However, he didn't wake during the incident, and instead, was only later woken up when a neighbour rushed round to check if he was okay. "The doorbell rang at a time when I don't really like opening the door," Mr Helber said. He went on: "I like to go back to sleep. But it was a very insistent ring, so I finally went to answer it. "And there's a guy I know very well standing there, looking at me in amazement and saying: 'Have you not seen the ship?' "But I hadn't. So I went to the window and saw this [the ship]." Roger Gustafson, from the local police force, said an investigation would be launched to try to find out what happened. He added there was currently no suspicion of anyone being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
