Broad daylight, middle of the road: Video shows brazen big rig burglary in Chino

Two people were arrested after authorities said they broke into a big rig while it was stopped in traffic in a brazen and apparently bungled burglary caught on video.

The video, shared by the Chino Police Department, shows two vehicles stopping at a red light in front of and behind a big rig on Friday. The car in front of the rig stops noticeably short of the intersection and remains stationary even after the light changes.

As the suspects appear to approach the back of the semi, the truck driver can be seen getting out and running to confront them. According to the truck driver, the suspects severed the lock on his trailer around this time. Shortly after, the vehicle in front of the rig drives away.

As the driver moves toward the vehicle behind the rig—a van—a person can be seen fleeing the scene on foot. The van then speeds away.

Officers later pulled the van over on an on-ramp to the 60 Freeway and arrested two suspects, identified as residents of Los Angeles and Cudahy. No other information about those arrested, or others who may have been involved, was immediately available.

The truck driver had called police to report that the suspects had cut the trailer lock and stolen computer equipment, according to a statement posted on social media by the Chino Police Department.

“During a search of the vehicle, officers located burglary tools and recovered the stolen property, valued at approximately $7,000, which was returned to the company,” the police department wrote.

November BART Shutdown in Hayward Caused by Fiber Optic Cable Theft Costs Agency Over $1 Million

A November BART shutdown caused by the theft of fiber optic cables cost the agency more than $1 million, according to recent estimates by authorities.

The shutdown, which occurred on November 21, affected BART’s service between Hayward and the Berryessa/North San Jose station for most of the day. The disruption was caused by a man who allegedly cut out 800 feet of fiber optic cable from an agency facility in Hayward and loaded several spools of the wiring into his truck, authorities said.

Initially reported to the public as vandalism, the incident is now being investigated as a grand theft.

Six days after the theft, a person driving a truck that resembled the suspect’s vehicle fled and successfully evaded police when a BART officer approached, authorities added.

No one has yet been charged in connection with the incident, which was part of a monthslong string of shutdowns and service disruptions for BART.

Staff writer Rick Hurd contributed reporting.

LIVERMORE Two boys a 14-year-old suspected driver and a 15-year-old passenger were arrested Tuesday after leading police on a chase in a stolen car that ended up crashing into an apartment building. Police said it was the second time in less than a week that the 14-year-old had fled police in a stolen vehicle. Authorities did not release information about that pursuit. Tuesday’s incident started about 1 a. m. after officers saw a vehicle traveling eastbound on Interstate 580 near El Charro Road that matched the description of a recently reported stolen vehicle. Officers followed the vehicle off the freeway onto Isabel Avenue and attempted to stop it near Jack London and Murrieta boulevards. The driver failed to stop and a pursuit began with the vehicle traveling at high speed twice the posted limit at times and running stop signs, police said. Officers briefly lost sight of the vehicle but later spotted it again at the Leahy Square Apartments, some three miles away in the 3200 block of Leahy Way. As officers approached the vehicle it fled for a second time and moments later the two suspects jumped out of the still-moving vehicle, police said. The vehicle then rolled into the side of an apartment building, causing an estimated $5,000 in damages, police said. Both suspects were quickly detained and officers confirmed the vehicle had been stolen the previous day. The youths were arrested on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle, evading a peace officer with wanton disregard for public safety, and vandalism/property damage. They were booked at Alameda County Juvenile Hall.. Check back for updates on this developing story.

Porsha Williams met by authorities after Delta flight incident, and the FBI is now looking into it

Porsha Williams from the Real Housewives of Atlanta had an unexpected run-in with authorities after her flight landed on Sunday night. The reality TV star was flying from Las Vegas to Atlanta when something happened on the plane that got the attention of law enforcement. Video footage shows Williams walking out of the gate wearing a fur coat and Uggs. She looked pretty relaxed about the whole thing and did not seem worried. A police officer walked with her after she got off the plane, and they talked for a bit. The FBI office in Atlanta told TMZ that they know about what happened on the Delta flight on November 16th. They said Williams and maybe another person were involved in some kind of incident. The FBI is now looking into it and trying to figure out if anyone broke any federal laws that would lead to charges. The incident is still a mystery Nobody really knows what actually went down on the flight yet. The flight crew talked to two passengers during the trip. Whatever the problem was, it did not stop the plane from finishing its journey to Atlanta like normal. When the plane got to the airport, police officers were there waiting to meet it. “FBI Atlanta is aware of an incident on a Delta flight on November 16th allegedly involving Porsha Williams and/or at least one other person,” TMZ quoted an FBI spokesperson. “We are looking to see whether any federal charges may or may not apply.” Williams was in Las Vegas for the whole weekend before this happened. She went to BravoCon with the other women from Real Housewives of Atlanta. The event is a big convention where fans get to meet their favorite Bravo stars. Williams did panels and took pictures with fans throughout the weekend. Everything seemed fine during her time in Vegas. She was hanging out with her co-stars and having a good time at the convention. So the flight incident on Sunday night was a strange way for her trip to end. The involvement of federal law enforcement in travel incidents usually means something serious might have happened. Her team has not made any statements either, so people are left guessing about what really went on during the flight.

Reggie Fils-Aime is surprised Xbox ‘has not yet embraced the Switch 2’

Posted on by
Reply

With the Nintendo Switch 2 having been out for a few months, there aren’t many people we’d like to hear more from on the matter than former—and legendary—Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé.

Fils-Aimé recently shared his thoughts on the Switch 2’s launch and how it has performed so far, applauding many of the decisions that Nintendo has made. However, one aspect remains a head-scratcher for him: he doesn’t understand why Xbox hasn’t been more aggressive in porting its games to the platform.

Reggie Fils-Aimé spoke about this and more during a recent episode of *The Game Business Show* with Christopher Dring. When asked about the Switch 2’s launch, Fils-Aimé offered several insights, but his take on the relatively lukewarm software support on the new console stood out the most.

During the discussion, Dring pointed out that titles like *Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4* have already made their way to Switch 2, and *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* is set to arrive soon. However, he also noted that Xbox’s presence on the platform has been very light, which is surprising given that making games available on Switch was a key condition imposed by trade authorities to approve Xbox’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

This cautious approach from Xbox raises questions, especially considering the potential of the Switch 2 as a gaming platform. Fans and industry observers alike will be watching closely to see whether Xbox intensifies its support for the console in the coming months.

Selma man found alive after 20 days lost in Sierra wilderness

CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) – A miracle moment unfolded when missing Selma man Ron Dailey was found after being lost for 20 days. A group of hunters discovered him on the Swamp Lake Trail on Saturday, and this photo captures the moment he was loaded into an ambulance.

Dailey had set out for a day of hunting but never returned home. When he didn’t come back as expected, his family contacted the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office to report him missing.

On Sunday, as he lay in the hospital, Dailey’s daughter Breanna recorded him recounting his harrowing experience in his own words. He explained how he ended up lost on the Swamp Lake Trail:

“I went over this thing, and it was scraping bottom. I looked up the tree in front of it, it said Diamond Road, jeep road. That means you better have a rock crawler. I don’t have a rock crawler,” Dailey said.

Despite this, he continued down the trail. Eventually, he realized his truck was destroyed and decided to use it as shelter. The family informed authorities that Ron had brought food meant to last about two weeks.

After several days spent at approximately 10,000 feet elevation, Dailey knew he had to take action. “You either try to walk out or you’re gonna sit here and die. So, I got my garb on, my boots on and I started walking. It was the toughest walk I’ve ever done in my life,” he said.

Dailey recounted falling several times while descending a rocky hill. Near the bottom, he noticed he had lost his phone. Despite the challenges, after walking several miles and praying for help, relief finally came.

“I said, ‘Lord, you gotta send someone up here to me. I can’t hardly walk anymore, Lord, you gotta help me, Father God.’ I raise my head up and I see a car with headlights on. And I go, ‘Oh, God, thank you Lord,’” he shared.

Dailey’s daughter says he is currently on fluids, and doctors are conducting necessary tests. If all goes well, Ron Dailey is expected to be able to go home tomorrow.

Deadly Tick-Borne Virus Detected in Tokyo Dog for First Time

Posted on by

Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) is primarily transmitted through tick bites and can cause symptoms such as fever, coughing, vomiting, and more in both humans and animals. In severe cases, the illness can be fatal.

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, a pet dog in the city developed symptoms including vomiting and diarrhea last month. Upon examination, the owner discovered a tick attached to the dog’s body. Subsequent testing confirmed that the dog was infected with SFTS.

Tragically, the dog passed away on September 27. Authorities noted that the animal had pre-existing health conditions, and it remains unclear whether SFTS was the direct cause of death.

Until now, Tokyo had reported only two confirmed human cases of SFTS. This recent incident marks the first detection of the virus in an animal within the metropolitan area.

In response, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is urging residents to take precautions when spending time outdoors. Recommended measures include using tick repellents and carefully checking both themselves and their pets to avoid tick bites.

Staying vigilant can help prevent the spread of SFTS and protect both humans and animals from this serious disease.
