Watch this Harbinger electric van chase down package thief [video]

With some 440 hp and nearly 1,200 lb-ft of instant electric torque on-hand, the Harbinger electric delivery van is more than capable of keeping up with modern day traffic. To show off just how capable it is, Harbinger’s marketing team has put together this fun, fictional, high octane voltage chase scene. Electric vehicles have been redefining the high-performance driving scene since the first Tesla Model S drag raced a Corvette on YouTube. Now, as that model drives off to the big garage in the sky, a whole new wave of next-generation of EVs is coming to stake their claim to the outgoing Model S’ high-powered heritage – and that wave seems to include Harbinger’s all-electric commercial delivery vans. That seems to be the message in this recent, Harbinger-produced video, anyway, which highlights the trucks’ rapid acceleration, powerful electric motors, and tight turning radius in a fun, frantic commercial (yes, it’s a commercial).

Luxury watch thief caught after wearing bright neon T-shirt in chip shop | UK News

A bungling watch thief who was caught after he was spotted by police wearing a distinctive bright neon T-shirt while eating in a chip shop has been jailed. James Wall stole Gucci and Cartier watches, a diamond ring and foreign currency during a burglary at a home in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, at around 5.45pm on 13 December, Kent Police said. Wall, of Beverston Gardens in Bristol, Somerset, pleaded guilty to burglary at Maidstone Crown Court on Wednesday and was sentenced to two years’ in prison. Police were called when he verbally abused a witness who challenged his reason for being in the area, the force said. The 20-year-old was driven away from the scene in a silver Vauxhall Insignia, but patrols spotted the car within an hour. The vehicle was seen reaching speeds of almost 100mph along the hard shoulder before it was brought to a halt near a slip road on the A2 near Wilmington, where the driver had attempted to travel the wrong way on the carriageway, police said.

Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson

Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson

Benjamin Stevenson has quietly assembled one of the most entertaining mystery series in contemporary crime fiction. Beginning with Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, he introduced readers to Ernest Cunningham — a Golden Age mystery devotee who keeps blundering into real ones — and each instalment has sharpened the formula. Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect gave Ernest a moving locked room. Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret put him in a festive gathering that turned murderous. Now, with Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson, the series takes its most structurally ambitious swing yet: a bank heist where nearly everyone in the building has arrived with something to steal — and only one of them is after money. Ernest and his fiancée Juliette have driven seven hours into rural Queensland to pitch their last-chance loan application to Huxley’s Bank, a sandstone behemoth of a building in a gold-rush town still running largely on heritage and stubbornness. Before the meeting ends, a figure in a fencer’s sabre mask fires a …

Australian Police Catch Thief Behind Heist of Egyptian Artifacts

Australian Police Catch Thief Behind Heist of Egyptian Artifacts

Police in Queensland, Australia, have arrested a man suspected of stealing precious Egyptian artifacts from a museum outside of Brisbane. According to local reports, the 52-year-old man was arrested Saturday on Russell Island in Moreton Bay after police discovered part of the stolen haul in a camper van parked at a ferry terminal. Among the recovered items was a 2,600-year-old wooden cat figure from Egypt’s 26th Dynasty, the last dynasty ruled by a native Egyptian pharaoh before the Persian conquest. Police apprehended the suspect within two days and returned most of the artifacts to the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology in Caboolture. Authorities said he entered through a smashed window facing its ancient Egyptian exhibition on Friday in what investigators described as a brazen break-in reminiscent of the 2025 Louvre heist. The artifacts stolen in Caboolture also included a 3,300-year-old necklace and a mummy mask, later discovered inside the camper wrapped in a Venezuelan flag. Both objects have since been recovered and appear to have suffered only minor damage. Police arrested the suspect Sunday and charged …

Hero British Bus Driver Fired For Stopping Thief And Protecting Passenger

Hero British Bus Driver Fired For Stopping Thief And Protecting Passenger

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, In a nation where self-defense is apparently a fireable offense, Mark Hehir, a dedicated London bus driver, has been hailed as a hero by the public but sacked by his employer for daring to chase down a thief who snatched a passenger’s necklace. This absurdity highlights how the UK’s bureaucratic overlords prioritize corporate protocols over actual justice, leaving ordinary citizens vulnerable to rampant crime while the establishment looks the other way. Hehir’s act of bravery, which even the police deemed “proportionate and necessary,” has sparked petitions, fundraisers, and widespread fury online. But in today’s Britain, where globalist policies have eroded basic freedoms, punishing the good guys seems to be the new normal—echoing a broader decline that sees literal convicted terrorists eyeing political power while heroes like Hehir get the boot. A thief stole a necklace A bus driver caught the thief and got the necklace back British Police arrested the Bus Driver and he got sacked.
