Prolific thief who bragged he made £1,000-a-week shoplifting is jailed

One of the UK's most prolific thieves has been jailed after bragging that he makes a £1,000-a-WEEK shoplifting .

Shameless Jamie Forbes, 38, added six further offences to his previous list of 296 crimes - admitting burglary, shop theft and breaches of previous court orders.

Grimsby Crown Court heard that after being stopped by a security guard at an Asda he boasted: "I can get a grand a week out of you lot."

Sentencing Forbes to 21 months in jail, Recorder Simon Jackson QC said: "You are one of the most persistent offenders that has appeared recently at this court."

Prosecutor Claire Holmes told the court how Forbes went into the Asda superstore in Holles Street, Grimsby, on May 21, breaching a previous antisocial behaviour order imposed in 2014 for three years.

Mother jumps on car bonnet as thief drives off with her kids inside

A man who stole a car in San Bernardino, Calif., late Sunday night with two small children in the back seat was followed and ultimately arrested because of the vigilance of three good Samaritans, police said.
San Bernardino police Lt. Rich Lawhead said, at around 11:30pm late Sunday night, a mother who had her 2 young children strapped in their car seats in the back of the vehicle, ran into a convenience store to buy them some drinks. The woman left her car running, the air conditioner on and parked directly in front of the market window so she could see the car from inside the store.

Unknown to her, a local transient, 21 year old Steven Young, was watching her from outside. As soon as the mother took her eyes off the car for a minute, Young jumped into the vehicle and began to reverse the car. The mother who was leaving the store just as the gray sedan was backing up, jumped on the bonnet of the car to try and stop the driver from fleeing with her children in it.

Young allegedly swerved left and right until the mother was shaken off, then he sped off with the car with the children in it, police said.

Texas Inmates Break Out of Cell to Save Guard Who Suffered Heart Attack

A group of inmates at a Texas jail broke out of a holding cell last month to save a guard who had suffered an apparent heart attack.

The guard had been joking with the inmates—who were locked in a small room in the basement of the District Courts Building in Weatherford, Texas—when he suddenly slumped over, according to local station WFAA-TV.

“He just fell over,” inmate Nick Kelton said. “Looked like an act. Could have died right there.”

Kelton and the other inmates shouted for help and then managed to break out of the cell, knowing it could have put them in a dangerous situation.

“We were worried they’re going to come with guns drawn on us,” Kelton said, WFAA-TV reported. Other deputies eventually came running when they heard shouting from the inmates, who had noticed the guard didn’t have a pulse. The guard, who has not been identified, regained a pulse after receiving medical aid from the deputies and paramedics.

“It never crossed my mind not to help whether he’s got a gun or a badge. If he falls down, I’m gonna help him,” Kelton said. “He’s a good man.”
