kokodoko 67 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 'Marijuana cannon' used to fire drugs over US border seized in Mexico Compressed-air gun mounted on truck could throw 13-kilo packets over fence into California. The 'marijuana cannon' seized in Mexicali on Tuesday, which uses an old car engine to generate compressed air. Police in the border city of Mexicali say they have recovered a powerful improvised cannon used to hurl packets of marijuana across a border fence into California. Police told the Televisa network that the device was made up of a plastic pipe and a crude metal tank that used compressed air from the engine of an old car. The apparatus fired cylinders packed with drugs that weighed as much as 13 kilos, police said. It was confiscated last week after US officers told Mexican police that they had been confiscating a large number of drug packages that appeared to have been fired over the border. Mexican police on the border have recovered a series of similar devices in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thousands of litres of whisky have been flushed down the drain by accident at a bottling plant in Dumbarton. It is understood the mix-up happened at Chivas Brothers during the night shift on Tuesday while equipment was being cleaned. Instead of draining away waste water, the workers on duty somehow flushed out thousands of litres of bulk whisky. The smell was so strong that sewage workers reported it.

Alexander L 80 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 In Hokkaido's Nakashibetsu, a woman and her three children were confirmed dead at a hospital Saturday night, believing to have died of carbon monoxide poisoning as exhaust pipe and windows of their car were blocked by snow, Japan's Kyodo News Agency quoted local police as saying. Also in Nakashibetsu on Sunday, a part-time worker was found collapsed in farmland and confirmed dead, local police said, adding she left her car behind about 300 meter away. Meanwhile in Yubetsu, a 53-year-old man died and his daughter survived after their car was buried in snow on their way to a friend of the man, according to Kyodo. The daughter survived because her dad huddled her. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The Batman costume-wearing crimefighter who handed a wanted man in to police in Bradford has revealed himself to be a friend of the suspect and explained that he had just returned from a football match where he wore fancy dress. It was a scene that could have come straight from a comic book or a Hollywood film. A crimefighter dressed as Batman marched into a police station in Bradford dragging a wanted suspect with him and told the astonished officers behind the desk, “I’ve caught this one for you.” The mysterious caped crusader of West Yorkshire then vanished into the night, leaving police baffled as to the identity of their new, slightly paunchy, ally in the battle against crime. Yesterday the streets of the city were ablaze with speculation about who the Bradford Batman was and whether he would come forward again to aid the forces of law and order. Local politicians leapt on the bandwagon, with MP George Galloway taking to Twitter to “deny rumours” that he was the masked avenger. The owners of a fancy dress shop in Bradford said they were “99 per cent certain” that they sold the distinctive grey costume, based on the 1960s American TV series rather than the more recent films, to the vigilante 10 days ago. However, there is a rather more prosaic explanation for a superhero turning up at Trafalgar House police station in the early hours of Monday February 25 with a man wanted on warrant over allegations of burglary, fraud and breaching a court order. Officers had been trying to persuade the suspect, Danny Frayne, 27, to attend the police station and had contacted his family and other acquaintances in an attempt to enlist their help. The man in the Batman costume unmasked himself last night as Stan Worby, 39, who said he drove his old friend Mr Frayne to the police station after returning from Bradford City’s historic cup final game against Swansea at London’s Wembley Stadium, which he had attended in fancy dress. Mr Worby, a Chinese takeaway delivery driver from the Wyke area of Bradford, said: "I got a call from Danny whilst I was at Wembley and he said, 'can you run me to the cop station?' But as I was in London I couldn't. "I told him as soon as I was home I would run him to Bradford central police station. We got back about 1am, and I picked Danny up in a minibus at 1.30am. "I'd had a lot to drink and it was a great day out - I got some strange looks when I got to the cop station though. One policeman looked at me and just laughed. "I said to the policeman, ‘I deserve a medal, I'm a caped crusader’.” He added: "It was a joke at the end of the day and Danny wanted to go to the police station. I had spoken to Danny during the week and tried to knock some sense into him. It was getting on my nerves having police round all the time asking for him or his whereabouts. "Danny's a good friend of mine and I've known him for 15 years or so. Who knows if I'll be doing some more crime-fighting in the future?" Mr Worby bought the Batman costume from an Argos store in Bradford along with a replica of the outfit worn by the superhero’s sidekick Robin, which was donned by one of his friends at the Wembley game. A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Last week we had a very strange occurrence at the police station when a male wanted in relation to an offence on our area was ‘escorted’ into our helpdesk at Trafalgar House by Batman. “Batman came into the helpdesk, stated to the staff, ‘I’ve caught this one for you’, and then promptly vanished into the night. The whole bizarre incident was captured on CCTV.” Mr Frayne was charged with handling stolen goods and fraud-related offences, and will appear before magistrates on Friday. The police have no intention of identifying or questioning Mr Worby in relation to his involvement in Mr Frayne’s case. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have not personally seen them starving, but had I been there to see it, I'd certainly would've offered to buy them some Big Macs. That way they could've gotten a weeks supply of protein at only 550 calories. Win WIn. 'cept of course the Big Macs would have had to have been airlifted from some yank base in South Korea.
