Burglar spent more than an hour cutting hole through bathroom wall to steal shop's marijuana
A burglar broke into a Seattle medical marijuana shop on Saturday morning and got away with cash and products, but it's how he got inside that has the owner on edge.
"I was kind of shocked with this, quite frankly," said Dawn Darington who is the owner of Choice Wellness Center.
The burglar cut a hole through a bathroom wall to gain access to her business.
"This would have been the last place I would have expected somebody to come through - the bathroom wall," said Darington. The suspect arrived at the building at around 2:30 on Saturday morning. He carried a skateboard and a bag across his back. He then used a crow bar to break into a door on the ground level where there's a maintenance facility and laundry room.
Once inside, the suspect went up a small staircase and spent more than an hour cutting a hole through Darington's bathroom wall. When the suspect got into the marijuana shop, he went straight for the cash register. He rummaged through cabinets, then went to the safe and took cash and jars of marijuana. The break-in now marks the third burglary at the Choice Wellness Center in less than two years.
"I'm not even sure that it's as much about cannabis as we just have a broken society right now where people are not taught good values and morals, and people are not held accountable," said Darington. "I guess I have to just sit down and really think about every little vulnerable spot we've got, and what we can do about it," she said. "Maybe puts lead walls in. I don't know."

Chinese man got around one child per couple rule by having multiple wives
A Chinese man's dream of having a large family in a country where each couple are limited to one child came true after he created multiple fake identities, and used them to marry women who he then made pregnant. Dad Liu Pan, 48, has now been arrested when police acting on a complaint from one of his wives swooped to put an end to his multiple identity scam.
When he was arrested in Shenzhen City in the southern China Liu was found to possess two ID cards, six household registration certificates, he had three wives and one mistress, and four children by them. He reportedly came up with the idea after his first wife Kao got pregnant, but gave him a daughter, so he married again in secret, and had another girl. He is suspected of bribing officials and forging official documents to live his dream of having many children, funding it by benefits. He almost certainly faces extra charges of bigamy as polygamy under any circumstances is forbidden in China.
And he broke the strict one-child-only policy of China, which could see him jailed for ten years for that alone. He was caught after a probe triggered by one of the wives, called Chang, who he married in 2010. Chang took a call one day when Liu was out at work from a woman who claimed to have been married to him for over a decade and had a daughter, aged ten, by him. "I probed further and found out there was another one as well," she said. "I have spent the last two years trying to negotiate a divorce from him but he is as slippery as an eel. Finally I got fed up, and called the police."
With the multiple registration certificates Liu was able to apply for rent subsidies. And at least one of the two fake IDs he possessed brought him in some welfare money because one of his aliases was registered as disabled. Police confirmed the arrest and said that work is ongoing to try to find out other identities and aliases that he used, and whether there might be other women in other areas. The lawyer for his wife Chang said: "The Chinese state takes a dim view of everything that he did. He tried to beat the system but in the end, the system will beat him all the way to jail."

Man guilty of assaulting supermarket security guard with hot cooked chicken
A man who assaulted a security guard by throwing a cooked chicken at him has been ordered to stay away from the supermarket where the incident happened.
John McNamara, aged 51, had denied assaulting Marius Pogonowski, 35.
During a contested hearing, Judge Eugene O’Kelly was told the incident happened at the Eurospar supermarket in Limerick, Ireland.
The Court heard as Mr Pogonowski was talking with Mr McNamara’s daughter and her partner at the checkout, the defendant approached him and became aggressive. “He was shouting and roaring and he threw a hot chicken at me,” he said adding that it struck him on the leg. Mr Pogonowski said tensions then escalated in the store as a number of other people became involved. At one point, he said, he grabbed a shopping basket to defend himself as he “felt in jeopardy”.
Another employee, Beata Kaccewsta Wozny, said she was alerted when she heard shouting and roaring. “There was a big fight in the shop, people were screaming and pushing,” she said adding that she saw the defendant throwing the cooked chicken at Mr Pogonowski. In CCTV footage of the incident, which was shown to the court, Mr McNamara can be seen flinging the chicken while being restrained by members of his family.
In his direct evidence he denied deliberately throwing it at Mr Pogonowski but being cross examined by Inspector Seamus Ruane, he agreed he had been a “small bit aggressive” and had thrown the chicken in a fit of temper. Convicting the accused, Judge O’Kelly said it was a “potentially very dangerous act” as the bag containing the chicken could have burst causing Mr Pogonowski to be scalded by the hot grease. He imposed a four month prison sentence, suspending it for two years. Mr McNamara was also banned from the store.

Police chase after victim fled officers in Jaguar amid suspected arson attack on wheelie bins
A crime victim called 999 because his door was being kicked but then fled in a car pursued by officers in Cambridge, who later linked the man with a suspected arson attack on wheelie bins.
The unusual incident took place in Newnham in the early hours of Thursday morning after the man called 999 in a state of panic saying someone was battering down his door.
Officers arrived at the scene at about 2.20am and found a front door had been damaged but the man spotted them and sped off in a Jaguar pursued by police who then lost the trail. Then at 4:39am police were called to a suspected arson attack in an alleyway, where about five wheelie bins were on fire as well as garden fences.
Officers cordoned off the area as a crime scene but later discovered the cause of the blaze was accidental after something “hot” in a bin started the fire. A fire service spokesman said a crew was called to the fire at 4:38am. Firefighters brought the blaze under control and returned to their station by 5:40am. Police are investigating and are tracing the man who called 999.
