Five more people have been arrested in the A66 crash investigation near Middlesbrough, taking the total to 17 as detectives probe links to an organised crime group; the latest detainees include a 16-year-old boy and men aged 18, 21, 55 and 23, arrested on suspicion of involvement in an organised crime group, with charges including firearm offences and drugs. Two men have since been charged—one with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and another with possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs and possession of criminal property.

Florida businesses accused of using mothballs to deter endangered shorebirds

Two Florida business owners—Christopher Monroe of Chris’s Beachside Bar and Robert Czyszczon of the Plaza Beach Hotel—were charged with illegal dumping and harassing a state-listed imperiled species after allegedly scattering about 1,500 mothballs on St. Pete Beach to deter nesting by endangered black skimmers; investigators linked the plan to video, receipts and incriminating text messages, and said the motive was to protect revenue.

They are out on bond as the case proceeds; the incident drew public outcry and raised environmental concerns.
