Woman accused of trying to sell ‘gothic kittens’
Three kittens with ear, neck and tail piercings were removed from a home by humane officers.

Would-be robbers ‘overly prepared’
An alert security guard chased two thieves and sat on them until police arrived. Herman Sakaria used his unusual restraint method after an attempted robbery in New Zealand on Tuesday. The Whangaparaoa-based security guard was heading home when he saw two youths covering their car plates…
A Korean man and woman came out after the youths. “The woman started hitting them with a flyswat she was so angry,” says Mr Sakaria. By sheer coincidence Mr Sakaria says the mother of one of the youths turned up. “The youth said: ‘Oh s#%t, there’s my mum’.”
