SHERMAN OAKS (CBSLA) — Parents are unnerved Friday after three syringes were found at a Sherman Oaks park playground. One syringe was initially found at the universal playground of the Van Nuys-Sherman Oaks Recreation Center, 14201 Huston Street, Thursday afternoon, prompting the Los Angeles Police Department to issue a warning.

Carranza (@LAPDCARRANZA) July 20, 2018 The playground was cleared and shut down, and crews from LA Parks and Recreation went through the sand with a sifter and found two more syringes. Visitors to the park were alarmed to hear that such dangerous items were found within the playground. “Endangering these kids’ lives,” said Gordon Kernes, who was dropping his son off at camp. “They could contract hepatitis.” “Well, it’s horrific,” said Vaughn Hart, who was walking in the park early Friday. “I mean, if they’re going to do it, do it away – anywhere away from where the children play.” Police say they are doing a full investigation to find out where the syringes came from, and are stepping up patrols at the park.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Authorities seized more than 55 pounds (approximately 25 kilograms) of suspected heroin and fentanyl late Wednesday night from a Bronx apartment that allegedly served as a drug packaging mill, law enforcement officials said. The drugs, worth an estimated $7.5 million, were taken from a two-bedroom apartment on Morrison Avenue in the Soundview neighborhood of the Bronx. Agents recovered 11 kilograms of suspected heroin was found in one bedroom closet, another 10 kilograms hidden in a wall and approximately 230 grams of heroin in a dresser. In the other bedroom, agents found a variety of equipment used to process the narcotics for street-level distribution, including 100 different ink stamps for branding individual dose envelopes, according to the city’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s office. Names on the stamps included, “Kill,” “Death,” “100%,” “UPS,” “Heartless” and “Super High.” Prior to the search, agents and investigators were conducting surveillance in the area when they observed Luis Guzman-Rojas, 46, enter the apartment building at around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday and leave shortly after with a black plastic shopping bag. They followed the livery car that drove Guzman-Rojas away and stopped it at the corner of Bruckner Boulevard and Hunts Point Avenue. Guzman-Rojas was arrested after agents and investigators observed him in the back seat with plastic-wrapped kilogram of suspected heroin marked with the letters “LV” and the same shopping bag he carried from the apartment building, the prosecutor’s office said. The Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s Office got a search warrant for the apartment and went in at approximately 11:05 p.m., officials said. Four men found in the apartment’s living room area — Matias Rosario-Ramon, 37, Anthony Polanco, 29, Willy De La Cruz, 28, and Pedro Sandoval, 26 — face charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminally using drug paraphernalia. Guzman-Rojas is charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, officials said. The Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s Office conducted the raid with the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force, which includes agents and officers with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, NYPD and the New York State Police.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police say a young woman was stalked and groped by a stranger who followed her into an elevator in Harlem. It happened back on June 17 inside a building in the area of 7th Avenue and West 138th Street. CBS2’s Marc Liverman spoke exclusively to the 28-year-old victim. She said she didn’t know it, but as soon as she got inside her building’s elevator, she was being followed. “He followed me and he held the door and he closed it really slowly, so I didn’t know anyone was behind me,” she said. Surveillance video shows the woman waiting for the elevator when at the last second, police said the man followed her on. “He started asking questions like if I had roommates or if I had a boyfriend,” she said. “I didn’t think anything of it because it was Sunday afternoon I was just trying to get home.” As soon as the elevator door opened again, police said the man grabbed her from behind. “I turned around and I was like, ‘What are you doing?’ and it started to click then I’ve never seen him in this building he probably doesn’t live here,” she said. So she started to scream and then man took off down the stairs. “I just started screaming for help,” she said. “It’s very scary, yeah. He knew exactly what he was gonna do.” She said she’s hopeful the man gets caught. “I just wanna make sure that nobody else gets hurt from this same person,” she said.

GLASGOW, Scotland ( CBS News/AP ) – Scottish police say they are trying to trace a paraglider who flew a Greenpeace protest banner over the golf resort that President Donald Trump is staying at. In this Friday, July 13, 2018 photo, a Greenpeace protester flying a microlight passes over President’s Trump’s resort in Turnberry, South Ayrshire, Scotland, with a banner reading “Trump: Well Below Par,” shortly after Mr. Trump arrived at the hotel. (John Linton/Associated Press) Detective Inspector Stephen McCulloch said the protester breached a no-fly zone over the Turnberry hotel and committed a criminal offense. Greenpeace said the glider carried a banner reading “Trump: Well Below Par” on Friday night to protest his environmental and immigration policies. The group claimed that the protest forced Mr. Trump to take cover, with a statement saying “as the glider appears overhead the president can be seen making for the entrance breaking into a trot.” It said it had informed police about the stunt 10 minutes before the glider arrived. Mr. Trump is spending the weekend at the Turnberry resort, preparing for his high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday. He tweeted Saturday he “will be at Trump Turnberry for two days of meetings, calls and hopefully, some golf – my primary form of exercise!” Thousands of people are expected to join anti-Trump protests across Scotland on Saturday. © 2018 CBS Interactive Inc.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police have widened the search area for a missing 19-year-old man at a park on Long Island after his parents received some unusual text messages. The desperate family of Louis Germosen has been virtually camped out at Hempstead Lake State Park in West Hempstead since Sunday after receiving some cryptic text messages, telling them this is where they should search for missing son. “I just hope that he just got hurt and somebody has him inside of their house and he’s going to come back alive,” Martha Flores, Louis’ mother, told CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff. Germosen disappeared on June 28. A flurry of anonymous text messages sent to a cousin on Sunday directed Louis’ mother, father and stepmother to a pond at Hempstead Lake Park with the words “Good luck God bless.” “We’re been searching since we found out,” says Louis Germosen, the teen’s father. “We’ve been following leads. It doesn’t matter who or where – overnight – asking people around, we go to stores, places where he used to frequent.” Adding to their worst fears is the possibility of gang involvement. While his parents say Louis was not a gang member, friends told them he may have last been seen with members of MS-13. “I mean, he’s a good kid. But now we’re just finding out maybe – gang involvement,” says Suzanne Bayer, Louis’ stepmother. “One gang [is] hearing something about MS-13 now. And we’re scared to death.” “We want him to come back we don’t care if he’s got in trouble with anybody,” said Flores. “If he thinks we’re mad at him because he’s been gone too many days, we don’t care we just want to know he’s ok. New york State Park police searched Sunday, along with Nassau water rescue and canine units. “It’s like hell. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare,” said Bayer. “You know, it won’t happen to you, then all of a sudden it happens to you. Its undescribable. I can’t even explain it.”

Desperate Search Underway For Missing Long Island Teen

LONDON (AP) — A woman who was poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent in southwest England died Sunday, eight days after police think she touched a contaminated item that has not been found. London’s Metropolitan Police force said the case had become a homicide investigation now that 44-year-old Dawn Sturgess had died in a hospital in Salisbury. She and her boyfriend, Charlie Rowley, 45, were admitted June 30 and remained in critical condition. Police said tests showed the pair was exposed to Novichok, the same type of nerve agent used to poison former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury in March. Police suspect Rowley and Sturgess handled an item from the first attack, which Britain blames on Russia. Moscow denies involvement. Prime Minister Theresa May said she was “appalled and shocked” by Sturgess’s death. “Police and security officials are working urgently to establish the facts of this incident, which is now being treated as murder,” May said. Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, Britain’s top anti-terrorism police officer, said the death “has only served to strengthen our resolve” to find those responsible. More than 100 police officers have been working to locate a small vial or other container thought to have held the nerve agent that sickened the two. Officials say the search and cleanup operation will take weeks or even month. Counterterrorism police are also studying roughly 1,300 hours of closed circuit television footage in hopes of finding clues about the couple’s activities in the hours before they became violently ill. Detectives want to know where the couple was to get new leads on where the contamination might have occurred. Britain maintains the March attack on the Skripals had been ordered by the Russian government, a charge denied by representatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The case led to the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Britain, the United States, and other countries, and tit-for-tat retaliation by Moscow. The new poisoning has frightened some residents who thought an extensive cleanup had removed the threat of any further Novichok exposure. Hospital officials said late Saturday that a number of people including a police officer had sought medical advice in the last week but had been found not to need any treatment. John Glen, the Conservative Party legislator for the region, said the new poisoning has threatened an economic rebound from the slowdown caused by the attack on the Skripals. “We need to establish quickly what they came into contact with and where,” he said. “The sentiment in the city is frustration, we want to get back to normal.” Britain’s interior minister visited Salisbury and nearby Amesbury, where the couple fell ill, on Sunday to reassure residents that the risk to the public remains low. Home Secretary Sajid Javid said the area is open for business and urged people to visit what he called one of the most beautiful parts of the country. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

written by Josef8884zgu
BALDWIN, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – Police are searching for a man accused of exposing himself to two 13-year-old girls in Nassau County. Around 8 p.m. Monday, the girls were walking on the sidewalk along Verity Lane in Baldwin, near Steele Elementary School. Police said the suspect pulled up to the curb in a gray four-door sedan and allegedly asked, “How do I get to the Dunkin’ Donuts?” When they didn’t respond, police said he exposed himself and took off. “It’s disgusting. It’s a pervert, disgusting,” one person said. Police are searching for a man accused of exposing himself to two 13-year-old girls in Nassau County. (Credit: Nassau County Police Department) The incident was unnerving for people who live nearby, like Barbara Singh, who has two young granddaughters. “It’s ridiculous. Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that this happened around our neighborhood,” she said. “It’s very quiet, but you never know in the quiet neighborhoods, you never know what happens.” “I’m going to keep an eye out. I mean, I see someone like this, I’ll probably just end up breaking his legs if I see him around here,” said resident Dave Kimmel. “These poor girls end up getting traumatized from something so ridiculous like this, it’s just incredible.” Police describe the suspect as a white man, around 20 to 27 years old, with shoulder-length blond hair, blue or green eyes and a beard. Nassau County Police also investigated another case of public lewdness Friday morning in Westbury. At this point, they do not believe they incidents are connected. Anyone with information is asked to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.
