MARQUETTE CO., MI. (WFRV) – Michigan State Police troopers from the North Central Region joined local youth last week for the annual 'Cops & Bobbers' event, a community outreach program designed to foster positive relationships between law enforcement and children, while encouraging a love for fishing over crime.

According to a Facebook post from Wisconsin State Patrol, the event featured a day of casting lines, reeling in fish, and sharing laughs. Organizers say the goal is to get kids 'hooked' on fishing instead of drugs or delinquency.
After what troopers jokingly called a 'reely good steak-out,' participants found a prime fishing spot that led to plenty of smiles and big catches.
'Cops & Bobbers' is part of a statewide initiative to build trust and create lasting memories with local youth.

New Yorkers unfazed as thieves swipe all 4 tires from cars near Gracie Mansion: ‘Typical day around here'

There goes the neighborhood. Upper East Side residents were mostly unfazed as a car left stripped of all four tires was left balancing on milk crates in the usually lowkey neighborhood near Gracie Mansion. A white Honda CRV had its tires — and wheel locks — swiped overnight into Tuesday on East 86th Street near York Avenue in front of a doorman building and just a couple of blocks from the mayor's residence. 'It's a typical day around here,' elevator mechanic Kim Harris, 44, told The Post. 'They pull up right next to your car… it's like an express tire shop that you didn't ask for.' 4 Ephraim Hirshberg, the boyfriend of the victimized car owner, stands in front of the battered SUV. Gregory P. Mango The CRV owner's boyfriend, Ephraim Heirschberg, called the pre-dawn raid stunning. 'I'm here 40 years in this building, and I've never seen anything like this before,' he said of the crime that had echoes of the city's grittier 'bad old days.' 'I think we live in a very safe area over here, the mayor's here, the police department is here … this is the first time I've encountered anything like this in this neighborhood.' The victim, who asked to be identified a Anna K., had a blunt reply when asked if she still felt safe in her neighborhood. 'No! I don't feel safe anymore,' she said with a laugh as her car was being towed. It's unclear when the robbery took place, but building staff on the block said workers might've been too busy handling rain in their basements following Monday's flash flood downpour. 4 The car needed a tow. Gregory P. Mango Anna wasn't the only motorist having a lousy day in the luxe Manhattan neighborhood. Another vehicle was also de-wheeled overnight Tuesday, according to photos provided to The Post. Numerous residents who live or work in the area said two other cars were also robbed of their tires recently. 'It's a thing now, I guess, they're targeting this area,' said Teresa A, who lives in the area. 'And it usually never happens in this area.' She added she's seen a few posts on NextDoor and an Upper East Side Facebook page about other tire thefts. 4 Multiple cars were left with milk crates holding the frame up. Ephraim Hirshberg A roadside assistance technician from MacArthur Towing, Jason Rivera, who was on hand to haul the white SUV away, said the thefts can be a quick pit stop. 'In and out, these guys that do this, give them 10 minutes and they're out of there,' the 31-year-old said. While robbery and burglary have dropped 11% and 13% in 2025 compared to the same time span last year, grand larceny and grand theft auto have increased modestly by 3.2% and 4.6%, respectively, according to NYPD data. Petit larceny has jumped 6.8% compared to the same time span last year. 4 The raid happened overnight into Tuesday. Gregory P. Mango Jason K., who works in a nearby building, said he's never seen a brazen theft like this in the neighborhood. 'I've only ever seen this in the Bronx,' he said. 'They were taking catalytic converters last year,' Kathleen O., 71, added. 'They wouldn't do it for fun, there's profit to be made.' Additional reporting by Amanda Woods

Florida woman conned out of $15K after AI clones daughter's voice

DOVER, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida woman wants to warn others after falling prey to an elaborate AI-powered scheme that used cloned audio of her daughter's voice to demand thousands of dollars in fake bond money. Sharon Brightwell told Nexstar's WFLA that the ordeal began last Wednesday when she received a call from a number that looked like her daughter's. On the other end of the line, a young woman was sobbing, claiming to have been in a car crash. 'There is nobody that could convince me that it wasn't her,' Sharon said. 'I know my daughter's cry.' The caller said she had hit a pregnant woman while texting and driving and claimed her phone had been taken by police. A man then got on the line, claiming to be an attorney representing her daughter. He told Sharon that her daughter was being detained and needed $15,000 in bail money in cash. 'He gave very specific instructions,' Sharon said. 'He told me not to tell the bank what the money was for, that it could affect my daughter's credit.' Following his instructions, she withdrew the money and placed it in a box as directed. A driver showed up to her house to pick up the package. But it didn't stop there. Sharon received another call saying the unborn child had died and that the family, described as 'Christian people,' had agreed not to sue her daughter if she provided another $30,000. That's when her grandson stepped in. He was on the phone with a family friend who quickly called Sharon directly this time with her real daughter on the line. 'I screamed,' Sharon said. 'When I heard her voice, I broke down. She was fine. She was still at work.' The family believes the suspects used videos from Facebook or other social media to create a convincing AI-generated replica of her daughter's voice. 'I pray this doesn't happen to anyone else,' Sharon said. 'My husband and I are recently retired. That money was our savings.' Now, the family is urging others to take precautions, including creating a private 'code word' to verify identities over the phone in emergency situations. 'If they can't give it to you,' Sharon said, 'hang up and call them directly.' A report has been filed with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. The family also launched a GoFundMe campaign to help recover their financial losses.
