Emma Raducanu stalker's scary Wimbledon act before security stepped in
British tennis star Emma Raducanu's stalker horror has continued after the same man was caught trying to apply for Wimbledon tickets. The All England Lawn Tennis Club's security system had red flagged the man's name after the tennis star reported him to her team. It comes after the horror incident that saw Raducanu, who 'couldn't see the ball through tears', hide in fear from her stalker at the Dubai Tennis Championship in February. An All England Club source told The Sun that the man who followed Raducanu to four countries had applied for the ballot last year before the Dubai stalking incident. Watch footage of the Dubai incident below After the incident the club removed his name from the ballot for the tournament starting June 30. He reportedly didn't try to apply for a ticket once he was given a restraining order. Raducanu suffered an apparent panic attack in Dubai earlier in the year after spotting a man in the crowd during her second-round match with Karolina Muchova. The same man had previously followed her to separate tournaments across the globe in Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Doha. British star Raducanu hid herself behind the umpire's chair after spotting the individual in the crowd displaying 'fixated behaviour'. Raducanu's reaction sparked concern among spectators, before the man was removed from the crowd and taken from the stands to be detained by local police. It was revealed he had also given Raducanu a letter and asked for a photo in a coffee shop at the player hotel the day before, which reportedly left her unnerved. The US Open champion reported the man to her team but the information was not passed on to the Women's Tennis Association until the following day. The Dubai Tournament was also not notified of the individual's presence or Raducanu's concerns until the following day. He was handed a restraining order from the Dubai police and his name was circulated among tennis authorities. 'I saw him in the first game of the match and I was like, 'I don't know how I'm going to finish',' Raducanu told reporters at the time. 'I literally couldn't see the ball through tears. I could barely breathe. 'I was like, 'I need to just take a breather'.' Wimbledon security is routinely reviewed with roughly 1,000 people working in security at the Championships. As well as the screening around the ballot, which caught Raducanu's stalker out, there are checks and balances employed to screen those in the queue. Anyone who gains entry to the championship has to be registered with Wimbledon and hand over personal information. Raducanu's stalker was never named publicly by the authorities following the incident in Dubai. The tennis star's horror experience has shone a spotlight on the issues faced by female tennis players. The grand slam winner has had a hellish stalking experience before, revealing in 2022 that she was 'constantly looking over her shoulder' after stalker Amrit Magar, 35, walked 37 kilometres to her home in South East London. Magar had a five-year restraining order put in place after stealing her dad's shoe and leaving gifts and notes for the young tennis star.

Shocking moment two brazen cops are caught romping in field propped against their police car in broad daylight clinch
A GOB-SMACKING video apparently showing two cops in a daylight romp out the side of a police car is being investigated. A local caught the lawless behaviour on camera in Cyprus, and the footage has the holiday island aghast. 3 3 3 Driving through a rural area on the outskirts of Larnaka, the resident stumbled across a mind-blowing scene in the middle of a farmer's field. Their video shows a cop car parked up in full view after ploughing through the crops - clearly in a hurry. The front passenger door is open and one party is bending over the seat. The other appears to be going at it hammer-and-tongs behind her. Vehicles stream past on another road just a stone's throw away, also with a clear view of the car. The local force confirmed it was probing a video of 'a man and woman". Two officers have been identified in relation to the clip and temporarily dismissed from their posts until the inquiry is wrapped up. The investigation was said to be focused on ascertaining whether the vehicle belonged to the force. One member of the local police said: 'We are not ruling anything out. 'There is a possibility that this is a fake video, footage that has been deliberately manipulated and we are investigating that too. Jet2 flight to Cyprus forced to divert due to 'drunk' passenger as hundreds of holidaymakers left stranded By Wednesday, however, the clip had been confirmed as legitimate. Well-placed officials vowed the embarrassing incident would not be allowed to sully 'the good name' of the force. One source told The Sun: 'If this video is for real it is deeply offensive but we will not let it get in the way of our good name and good work." Social media users had a field day after the video went viral late Tuesday. Commenters said it had 'humiliated' a police force put already under stress from the escalating conflict in the nearby Middle East. Amid the mockery, police spokesperson Kyriaki Lambrianidou called for sensitivity, as children and families are involved. The person who filmed could have handed the video over to police rather than post it online for public consumption, she told local media. Cypriot police responded to a more serious case this week after a British tourist plunged ten metres from a hotel balcony. The 24-year-old tourist was left fighting for his life when he fell from the platform in the party town Ayia Napa. The lad was rushed to the Famagusta hospital in Paralimni, but then urgently transferred to Nicosia general hospital - the largest on the island. Doctors described his condition as 'serious', and cops launched an investigation into the circumstances.

Man arrested for trying to scale fence at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, Secret Service says
Police in Florida arrested a man who allegedly climbed a fence and tried to enter President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club early Tuesday, the Secret Service said. The alleged intruder — described only as an adult male — "scaled a perimeter fence and triggered alarms" shortly after midnight on Tuesday, a Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News. He was detained by the Secret Service "without incident" before local police in Palm Beach took him into custody and charged him with trespassing, according to the spokesperson. The arrested man allegedly told local police he hoped to speak with Mr. Trump about "the gospel" and wanted to marry his 18-year-old granddaughter, according to an arrest report obtained by the Palm Beach Daily News. CBS News has reached out to the Palm Beach Police Department. Mr. Trump was in Washington during the incident. "No Secret Service protectees were present at the time of this incident," according to the agency. It's not the first time that Mar-a-Lago has faced security incidents. A man allegedly tried to enter the property repeatedly last year, both before and after the election, and two different people were arrested for trespassing during Mr. Trump's first term in 2019. And Ryan Routh was charged last year with trying to kill Mr. Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, a few miles from Mar-a-Lago. Authorities say Routh — who has pleaded not guilty — aimed a rifle through the bushes at the edge of the property, but fled after he was spotted by the Secret Service. That was the second attempt on Mr. Trump's life last year.

Community engagement, education helping Strathcona County residents avoid crypto scams: RCMP
Strathcona County RCMP is reporting a large decrease in the money lost in the community from crypto scams compared to the year before. RCMP attributed this decline to its community engagement and education on crypto fraud. In a news release on Tuesday, police said between January and April in 2024, the reported loss to crypto-related scams in the county was almost $400,000. In the same period this year, the loss was around $240,000. RCMP members have visited local schools, seniors' groups, and community organizations to teach residents to recognize and report scams. These presentations have focused on identifying common crypto scams, like fake investment opportunities, romance scams, and fraudulent calls from scammers claiming to be law enforcement or government officials. Police said that legitimate government agencies will never request payment in the form of cryptocurrency. In the release, RCMP said that if someone has been targeted by a scam, they should report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or local police.
