Raids Expose Fake Goods and Arrests at Barbershops

Counterfeit items have been confiscated, and several people were taken into custody following raids on barbershops throughout southwest England.

In Gloucestershire, authorities apprehended five individuals following operations conducted at 11 locations by various law enforcement agencies. Over 130 counterfeit designer bags were confiscated in Bristol.

This operation is part of a three-week national anti-money laundering initiative by the National Crime Agency (NCA) known as Operation Machinize .

“Activities such as these aim to convey a strong message that our high streets should not be used as hiding spots in public view,” stated Detective Sergeant Adrian Bray from the South West Regional Organized Crime Unit (SWROCU).

In an operation, law enforcement apprehended a 40-year-old male suspected of fraud following raids at two barbershops located on Barton Street in Gloucester. The individual has since been freed from custody but remains subject to bail conditions as the inquiry continues.

A second individual was detained due to violations of immigration laws at a location where Trading Standards officials confiscated illicit cigarettes and vaping devices.

A 24-year-old individual from Gloucester was taken into custody for suspected burglary and possession of methamphetamine. The charges against him have now been updated to include theft.

Two individuals, one 33 years old and another 18 years old, both from Gloucester, were taken into custody for suspected drug supply, specifically concerning cocaine and cannabis.

The teenager who is 18 years old has now faced charges for possessing with the intention to supply, whereas the individual aged 33 was let go pending further investigation.

'Cash-intensive businesses'

The SWROCU mentioned that they had inspected a total of 16 locations throughout the southwest region of England.

In Bournemouth, an employee was found to be working illegally at one premises and vapes were being sold illegally at another.

Premises were also visited in Swindon, Poole, Teignmouth, Saltash, Barnstaple and Braunton, they said.

"Suspects frequently utilize barbershops along with other cash-heavy enterprises such as vape stores, nail salons, American-style candy shops, and car washes for money laundering activities," stated Detective Sergeant Bray.

"Their aim is to mix legitimate funds and criminal profits to hinder investigations into their criminality.

"We know they are also adept at exploiting vulnerable people to work in their businesses."

Trump Admin Report Mistakenly Highlights British Tourist's Tattoo in Venezuelan Gang Study

A tattoo owned by an individual who identifies as "an average middle-aged man" from Britain was featured in a U.S. governmental handbook aimed at recognizing members of a dangerous Venezuelan gang.

Pete Belton, aged 44, hailing from Derbyshire, England, shared his story with the BBC He isn't connected to Tren de Aragua (TDA)—whose members are presently being pursued and expelled El Salvador by the Trump administration.

Belton expressed surprise upon discovering that an image of his tattoo—a clock showing the exact time and date of his daughter’s birth—appeared in a Department of Homeland Security document aimed at "detecting and identifying" TdA members, which came to light. court filings .

“It felt somewhat odd but also amusing initially,” Belton said to the BBC, adding that he is now concerned his family holiday in August might turn into “a half-year-long stay at an all-inclusive resort in Guantanamo.”

A reverse image search of the tattoo used in the DHS document traced it back to a 2016 Instagram post by a tattoo artist in the U.K., according to the British broadcaster. The image also featured in a 2024 report From the Texas Department of Public Safety in a report about TdA activities within the United States.

However, in a concise statement, the DHS informed the BBC that they stand behind their intelligence reports and assert that their evaluations "extend far beyond mere gang-related tattoos and social media activity."

Immigration officers have received a point-based evaluation tool called the "Alien Enemy Validation Guide" to identify potential gang members. This guide indicates that tattoos may contribute up to four out of the eight points needed to warrant an individual’s detention or removal from the country.

Belton maintains that he has absolutely no connection with the Venezuelan gang and stated that he might cancel his forthcoming trip to the U.S., based on how this situation unfolds.

He told the BBC: “Hopefully, now they’d realize I’m not a Venezuelan gangster, but I’ve seen crazier things happen in the news recently, so we’re just going to wait and see.”

The Trump administration has expelled almost 300 Men were sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador after they were accused of being part of gangs such as Tren de Aragua.

Included among those deported was a father from Maryland whom the administration acknowledged had been expelled from the U.S. because of “ an administrative error ." Others were accused of sporting TdA tattoos, including a man who claims an soccer team tattoo was incorrectly identified as having gang affiliations, and a makeup artist whose tattoos read "mom" and "dad" were apparently cited as evidence Of his claimed association with TDA.

Couple Behind Bars After 'Incredibly Dangerous' 90-Minute Motorbike Chase

Two individuals who led police on a "highly risky" chase spanning 90 minutes through three distinct law enforcement jurisdictions have been sentenced to prison.

Police helicopters directed traffic officers and armed patrol units in their search for two individuals following an alleged road rage incident involving a knife threat against a woman driver near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.

Motorcycle rider Jake Fagan, aged 29, was clocked at reaching velocities up to 90mph during the chase which occurred on the afternoon of July 18 the previous year. The high-speed incident began in Ellesmere Port, crossed into Merseyside, continued onward towards Chester, and finally extended into North Wales.

Fagan mistakenly drove against traffic on an exit ramp of the M56. He was accompanied by his rear-seat passenger, Connor Mitchell, who was also 29 years old. They were eventually apprehended in the center of Chester when law enforcement effectively used stinger devices.

Onlookers applauded as the officer tackled Fagan like in rugby when both tried to flee on foot.

During the chase, the suspects threw away a bag that was subsequently retrieved by authorities. It was discovered to hold Class A narcotics, according to Cheshire Police.

In his police interview, Fagan from Exeter Road, Ellesmer Port, attacked a wall with punches and headbutts, according to law enforcement officials.

A few days before, Fagan had dismounted from his motorcycle to attack a man on Eton Road in the town.

On Thursday, he received a sentence of four years and eight months at Chester Crown Court for admitting to charges including dangerous driving, assault, possessing a knife, intending to distribute cocaine, dealing with stolen items, and committing criminal damage, according to law enforcement officials.

Mitchell from Farndale Drive, Elton, Chester, received a sentence of three and a half years in prison after admitting to possessing a knife and intending to distribute cocaine.

After the sentencing, Detective Constable Demi Brownrigg stated: "I am pleased with the sentences imposed on Fagan and Mitchell, as they demonstrated utter disregard for the safety of the public during their extremely hazardous chase with law enforcement."

The chase extended across three distinct police jurisdictions. Nevertheless, due to our officers collaborating effectively, we managed to maintain surveillance on the suspects and ultimately halt their concerning actions.

This should illustrate that if you commit a crime in Cheshire, we will track you down and use every available resource to safeguard the communities we serve while ensuring you face justice.



Deputy Caught on Camera Punching 14-Year-Old in Hesperia

A video depicting a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputy hitting a 14-year-old boy multiple times in the head with punches during an arrest has raised worries amongst locals. This event took place on Wednesday (April 9) at approximately 4 p.m., close to Hesperia Junior High School in Hesperia, California.

As the officer moved to apprehend him, the adolescent reportedly put up resistance, which escalated into a physical confrontation.

In the footage, the deputy can be observed tackling the young male to the ground and striking him several times in the head and abdomen while commanding him to place his hands behind his back. Throughout this incident, the teenager is overheard crying out, with bystanders clearly showing their discontent. Later, the deputy picks up what appears to be a green-handled knife from the pavement; however, it remains uncertain whom the weapon originally belonged to since investigators did not discover any firearm at the scene.

The teenager was taken into custody and processed at the Juvenile Detention and Assessment Center due to charges of obstructing a police officer. This event has sparked varied responses; some stress the significance of adhering to authorities' instructions, whereas others express concern over the application of force against a young person.

Prosecutors Scrutinize Thousands of Messages in Boston Rape Case

Prosecutors state that they are currently working through over 45,000 exchanges between Boston Police investigators concerning the probe into this matter. Matthew Nilo a New Jersey attorney charged with attacking eight women in Boston over ten years ago.

In a short court document requesting an extension of the hearing in Nilo’s case, Assistant District Attorney Lynn Feigenbaum mentioned that the prosecution has received 45,000 communications since Nilo’s previous court appearance. These communications amount to about 500,000 pages. To date, prosecutors have provided 1,200 documents to Nilo’s legal team, which adds up to approximately 9,000 pages.

Feigenbaum stated that there are still more than 30,000 communications to be examined by the prosecution, which might be provided to Nilo’s defense team.

In December, a judge initially established January 24 as the deadline for prosecutors to submit the messages.

Nilo faces charges for raping and assaulting eight women in Boston during 2008 and 2009. Law enforcement pinpointed him as a suspect when they matched DNA collected from his victims' rape kit tests against profiles in myHeritage, an internet genealogy platform.

The DNA evidence directed law enforcement to Nilo, as his genetic material was obtained from drinking glasses and multiple utensils utilized during a corporate function, according to the prosecution’s filing in court documents.

The DNA extracted from one of the glasses matched the suspect's profile linked to the assaults. Additionally, a glove employed by one of the victims to prod her assailant’s eyes had DNA that was 314 times more probable to be Nilo's rather than someone else's, according to what the prosecution stated.

Nilo's attorney, Rosemary Scapicchio, placed significant emphasis on the DNA evidence as a cornerstone of his defense.

"It seems...that there was an unwarranted search conducted without permission into a DNA genealogy database before Nilo's arrest or formal charges were filed," she stated in a legal document submitted in 2023. She further noted that Nilo had been informed of no relatives contributing to such a database.

The hearing was rescheduled for May 27.
