CCTV of three women is released after £10,000 in cash is stolen from train passenger's bag
Police officers are searching for three women after £10,000 was stolen from a man's bag at a London train station. The 49-year-old victim had been carrying the huge amount of cash in an envelope when he boarded a train at Paddington station on Friday, June 20. He went through a barrier at around 9.30am and walked onto the train, supposedly followed by a group of three women. The man entered a train carriage ahead of the women, who then walked past him and exited from the opposite end. He checked his bag a 'short time later' and realised the envelope was missing from his rucksack. The British Transport Police issued an appeal on Tuesday to help identify three women who may have information which could help their investigation. The force released CCTV images of a brunette woman wearing a white cap and sunglasses, another wearing a stripy cap and white top and a third dressed in all white, with a red and beige cap. BTP has asked for anyone who recognises the group to contact them by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 170 of 20 June. Cops are also searching for this woman seen wearing a stripy cap and white top in connection with the incident on Friday, June 20 BTP said in a statement: 'Officers investigating after £10,000 in cash was stolen from a man's bag have released these images in connection. 'At around 9.30am on Friday 20 June a 49-year-old man went through a barrier at Paddington railway station. He was followed on to a train by three women who then walked through the carriage and left at the opposite end. 'The victim sat down and checked his bag a short time later when he realised £10,000 in cash in an envelope was missing from his rucksack. 'Officers believe the women in the images may have information which could help their investigation. 'Anyone who recognises them is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 170 of 20 June.'

Tiger King star jailed for trafficking and laundering after buying chimpanzees, lions, tigers, cheetahs on black market
ZOOKEEPER CAGED Tiger King star jailed for trafficking and laundering after buying chimpanzees, lions, tigers, cheetahs on black market Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TIGER King star Bhagavan "Doc" Antle has been jailed for trafficking exotic animals and money laundering. Antle, 65, was sentenced to one year and one day behind bars and fined $55,000 on Tuesday - two years after he pleaded guilty to the charges. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Bhagavan 'Doc' Antle leaves the Charleston federal courthouse onTuesday Credit: AP 4 He has been jailed for one year Credit: AP 4 He purchased lion cubs from Virginia to display in his South Carolina petting zoo Credit: AP Prosecutors said Antle sold or bought cheetahs, lions, tigers and a chimpanzee without the proper paperwork for a decade. They said he also laundered more than $500,000 so he could quickly get cash to buy more animals. Antle's sentencing was heard in a federal courtroom in Charleston, South Carolina - five years after the true crime documentary Tiger King captivated a country shut down by COVID-19. The show centred on dealers and conservationists of big cats, focusing on disputes between Joe Exotic, a collector and private zookeeper from Oklahoma, and Carole Baskin, who runs Big Cat Rescue in Florida. Exotic is serving a 21-year federal prison sentence for trying to hire two different men to kill Baskin. Antle appeared in the first season with Exotic and Baskin and was the star of the show's third season. Authorities said he laundered money used in a human smuggling scheme because he needed large amounts of cash quickly to buy animals, including chimpanzees, lions, tigers, cheetahs, and other creatures. Prosecutor Patrick Duggan said: "These animals are illegal to sell because they are endangered, and their high prices could encourage poachers to steal them from the wild. "He was knowingly and illegally trading them as part of a black market that drives another black market of poaching and smuggling." Customers would pay $200 for five minutes and photos with a baby chimp or $7,000 for a sleepover. Antle would sometimes ride into tours on an elephant. 4 Antle is currently on bond and the sentencing will take place on September 14, 2023 Credit: Instagram Antle's lawyers requested a sentence of just probation or home confinement, saying their client needed to care for the 150 exotic animals that consume 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms) of meat a day at his Myrtle Beach Safari. They said many of the animals only respond to Antle. About 25 friends and family packed a federal courtroom in Charleston. Several told Judge Joseph Dawson III that Antle was generous and caring. They said he raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight poaching and preserve wild habitats for tigers, lions and chimpanzees. Federal guidelines called for about two years in prison, to which prosecutors agreed. But Dawson said, although Antle broke federal law, all the evidence pointed to him caring for animals. Antle apologized at the end of his sentencing hearing for causing problems for his life's work. "I made a mistake, I did stupid things," Antle said, adding, "I hope I'll be able to pull it back together for everybody." Antles Myrtle Beach Safari was known for charging hundreds or thousands of dollars to let people pet and hold baby animals like lions, tigers and monkeys that were so young they were still being bottle-fed. The zoo remains open by reservation only.

Thugs, thieves and drug dealers could avoid court under radical plans to ease justice system backlog
Jury trials would be scrapped for some drug dealers and sex offenders with a judge and two magistrates presiding instead JUSTICE SHAKE-UP Thugs, thieves and drug dealers could avoid court under radical plans to ease justice system backlog Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THUGS, thieves and drug dealers could avoid going to crown court under plans to overhaul the clogged justice system. Offenders may avoid a criminal record and instead be sentenced to do unpaid work or get rehabilitation, it is proposed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Criminals could avoid going to crown court under plans to overhaul the clogged justice system Sentences could be cut by 40 per cent, up from a third now, with an early guilty plea. Jury trials would be scrapped for some drug dealers and sex offenders with a judge and two magistrates presiding instead. They could impose sentences of up to three years' jail. The maximum penalty JPs could hand down would double to two years.

It has seen trial dates pushed back as far as 2029. Sir Brian said without the reforms there would be a 'breakdown in law and order' with 'society taking things into their own hands'. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said 'criminals like burglars and some killers will serve just a fifth of their sentences. That makes a mockery of our justice system.' Victims' Commissioner Baroness Newlove warned higher guilty plea discounts and out-of-court disposals 'will feel like justice diluted again'. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has yet to announce which recommendations she will accept. First convicts leave Barlinnie after Scottish Government release 360 prisoners early due to overcrowding
