BREAKING NEWS Idiot thug steals a Woolworths truck before leading police on a wild chase - what happened next has stunned the city
A man has been arrested following a dramatic police pursuit across Sydney, after he assaulted a Woolworths truck driver with a stun device and stole the vehicle. The chaos began on Olympic Parade in Bankstown, where police say a 23-year-old truck driver was attacked and had his truck stolen in broad daylight. He was initially taken to Bankstown Police Station before paramedics transported him to hospital for further treatment. Police quickly launched a search and eventually located the stolen truck on the Princes Highway at Rockdale. When officers tried to stop it, the driver refused to pull over, triggering a pursuit. The chase tore through Wolli Creek, where the truck allegedly slammed into four parked cars without stopping. With growing safety concerns, police made the call to terminate the pursuit as the truck veered onto the M8 motorway. With the help of PolAir, officers tracked the truck westbound as it continued onto the M4, barreling down the highway before police laid down road spikes on the Great Western Highway at Glenbrook. The vehicle finally came to a stop at Blaxland, where officers arrested the driver after deploying a Taser, with support from the Dog Unit and the Public Order and Riot Squad.

Like others, he had lingering questions about the mysteries surrounding the case, including a for Ben Mogen, Madison's father, the deal marks a moment of closure for a family that had dreaded a gruelling trial after years of being thrust into the national spotlight."It's been this nightmare that's approaching in our heads," Mr Mogen told the New York Times. A nightmare in a close-knit college town It was a typical Saturday night out for four young college students near the tree-lined University of Idaho campus, weeks before the Thanksgiving Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, went to a party at his fraternity. Meanwhile, best friends, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, both 21, went to a bar and ended the night with a food truck visit, before they all returned to their home just down the road from campus around 02:00 local later, in the early morning of 13 November 2022, a masked attacker would park his car behind their home on King Road and enter through a sliding glass door. He would climb the stairs to the third floor, roaming from bedroom to bedroom, stabbing the four young students, while leaving two others in the house unharmed. The killer left behind a grisly scene, spattering the walls with blood before he was spotted in a ski mask by one of the two surviving roommates on his way out through the glass more than a month, the public had no idea who committed such a horrible and violent crime. The mystery - and the nationwide attention it attracted - left the small Idaho town reeling while obsessive amateur internet sleuths tried to fill in the on 30 December, after weeks of unanswered questions, police announced they had arrested a suspect, Kohberger, at his family home hundreds of miles away in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania.

"It's not the Bryan Kohberger that I know."Kohberger would eventually pursue a criminology doctorate at Washington State University, where he was fired from his job as a teaching assistant for evaluating students too released documentaries and books - including one by thriller novelist James Patterson - have speculated about his motive, suggesting that he was angry about romantic rejections, or even that he was trying to emulate misogynist killer Elliot Rodger.A gag order in the case prevented those close to the investigation from speaking out. But last week, an Idaho judge lifted the order, saying the public's right to information was "paramount given the fact that a plea has been entered"."The media frenzy, as it has been described, will continue regardless," Judge Steven Hippler said. Homicides captivate social media sleuths In the weeks following the murders, University of Idaho students were on edge, waiting for answers and an arrest in the deaths of their four a killer still on the loose, many fled the leafy town of 25,000 residents, which had not seen a murder for five deliver tributes for four Idaho victims at vigilAs police went weeks without naming a suspect or even a murder weapon, an online community - frustrated for answers - formed and began to of amateur crime sleuths took to TikTok and other social media sites to sift through clues.

American Idol boss and husband were shot with their own gun as it's revealed 911 call came from killer's cellphone
The alleged killer of American Idol boss Robin Kaye and her husband used the couple's own gun to cut them down in cold blood at their home, it has emerged. Authorities also believe Raymond Boodarian, 22, called 911 from his cell phone during a violent break-in at the couple's Encino, California, property on July 10. The bodies of Kaye, a music supervisor on the hit show, and Thomas Deluca, both 70, were not discovered by officers from the Los Angeles Police Department until four days later on July 14 after worried relatives requested a welfare check. They were found in different rooms and pronounced dead at the scene after being shot multiple times, including to the head. The DA's office told the Daily Mail: 'The District Attorney's Office can confirm that the suspect placed a 911 call and that the firearm involved in the homicide was registered to the victim.' Investigators believe Boodarian allegedly scaled a wall to get onto the property and entered the home through an unlocked door 30 minutes after the pair arrived home from grocery shopping. New details about the brutal slayings were revealed by Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman during a local public safety meeting on Monday evening and on Tuesday by LAPD. Hundreds of worried residents in the wealthy neighborhood where the murders occurred attended the event. It follows a number of burglaries in the area where celebrities including Machine Gun Kelly, Michael B. Jordan and Matt LeBlanc have homes. Hochman said a firearm recovered from Boodarian's rented residence in nearby Reseda came from the victims' home. 'It was a gun that he had recovered from the actual house,' he told the audience, according to ABC News. 'It was Robin and Tom's gun. It wasn't his gun. Which is exceptionally tragic.' Hochman added: 'The government owes you one thing and that's safety. 'Robin and Tom didn't experience safety that night. Safety failed them.' Boodarian was arrested the day after the murders were discovered. He has been charged with two counts of murder and a count of residential burglary, with the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders and murder during the commission of a burglary. He has not yet entered a plea and is currently being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles without bail. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 20. 'Mr. Boodarian got caught because he used his cellphone to contact police concerning this situation,' explained Hochman during Monday's meeting. 'Police were able to ping the cellphone, find out where he lived, go to his residence and arrest him.' Police had previously said they received two separate 911 calls on the day of the break-in. According to the Los Angeles Times, a neighbor called 911 at 4pm on July 10 to report that a man was attempting to break into Kaye and Deluca's $4.5 million gated mansion on White Oak Avenue. About 40 minutes later, a call was placed to emergency services from inside the couple's property and the dispatcher was told that someone had broken in and the they could here the caller say: 'Please don't shoot me!' The caller then told the operator that a police response was not required. Follow-up attempts to reach the caller by phone were unsuccessful. Shocking details are contained in a search warrant affidavit filed by the the San Fernando Valley homicide unit, reported the Times. The warrant does not specify if the caller was Boodarian pretending to be one of the victims or actually from Kaye or her husband. Police sent officers to inspect the property on the day of the murders, aided by a helicopter, but they left after failing to gain access. 'Officers arrived on scene and conducted a check of the surrounding area and attempted to visually check the residence through the security gate, LAPD spokesperson Jennifer Forkish said in a statement. 'They attempted entry at two access points but both were locked and secured. The home was secured with surrounding walls.' Forkish added that the police helicopter 'visually checked the location and advised there was no visible activity or evidence of break in. 'After taking additional steps to contact the persons reporting and residents at the location, officers cleared from the scene.' According to LAPD Deputy Chief Marla Ciuffetelli, also at Monday's meeting, the department is conducting an assessment of its response to the murders. 'We're always striving to try to respond better, Ciuffetelli said. 'We're taking a very close look at the response. I'm not saying that there was any mistakes made, but we're making sure that in similar circumstances, that we respond appropriately. LAPD Capt. Michael Bland said that patrols in Encino are being increased. This is not something we take lightly,' he said. Court records show that Boodarian was jailed last year on suspicion of threat, weapons, and battery charges. But in December a judge dismissed the cases following a mental health evaluation. Court records show he was placed in a conservatorship, which puts another adult in charge of major decisions in a person's life if they've been diagnosed with a severe mental disorder. A neighbor, who did not want to be named, told the Daily Mail she would occasionally see Boodarian roaming the complex 'looking really, really disturbed.' Otherwise, she kept her distance. She described how he would sometimes have an 'episode' and appear 'ready to break the walls.' 'It feels like he's gonna break right through the wall and is coming into my place.' She added: 'The cops have been here in the past. The mother's called and said "I can't control him."' The neighbor claimed that on at least one occasion, Boodarian had to be strapped to a stretcher and removed from the property. Court records show that Boodarian was jailed last year on suspicion of threat, weapons, and battery charges before the alleged break-in into the slain couple's home (pictured) She said: 'They're always repairing the unit inside. I don't know if he bangs his head or if he throws things, I don't know, but it's usually really loud. 'He can get really violent. And I don't know if he's throwing furniture or if he's banging with his fist on the wall, but he has actually broken the drywall.' The neighbor alleged that on one occasion he 'broke a couple of his mom's ribs,' though she did not elaborate on the alleged incident.
