Selkirk Sheriff Court heard Keith Ward approached an undercover police officer posing as the youngster in an online chat platform, before moving to instant messaging app Snapchat, and engaged her in conversation which quickly became sexual.

When police visited his home the furnishings matched the images Ward had sent her. He pled guilty to a charge of communicating with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl and causing her to view a sexual image on various occasions between September 11th and October 2nd last year.

More than 100 ATM thefts across Watford and nearby since April have sparked a police warning to be vigilant. Hertfordshire Constabulary has issued the warning after reports of thefts from cash machines in Borehamwood, Hemel Hempstead, and Watford. Det Insp Pete Hanks, from the serious fraud and cyber unit, said: "It appears that these thefts are being achieved by a discreet device being placed inside the cash dispensing slot, which traps the cash during dispensing and allows the criminal to retrieve the cash. "To the customer it appears the transactions has been declined and their cash is returned.” Man who contacted kids on Snapchat in Watford sent to crown court Bogus police officers con Herts victims out of £12,000 in a week Police advised ATM users to take extra precautions, including shielding the keypad and inspecting the machine for unusual attachments.

A Florida man claiming to be a boat captain was arrested Thursday after admitting he repeatedly stabbed a shark in the head in a Snapchat video that went viral late last month. Zane Garrett, 26, was charged with aggravated animal cruelty after gruesomely knifing a bull shark near a wreck site off Key West on May 22 in a video titled “Bud broke my rod,” Local 10 reported. Garrett, who is identified as a captain on Second Nature Charters’ website, was turned over by an anonymous tipster who saw the horrifying video and reported it to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, citing “safety concerns,” according to the outlet. Garrett was recently “investigated for false representation” because he does not have the required license to be a captain, it added. Zane Garrett, 26, was charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

PONTIAC, Mich. -- Two men are in custody after a possible mass shooting plot at a Michigan graduation ceremony was thwarted, authorities said. The apparent plot was revealed after authorities responded to a fight that broke out during the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac graduation, which was held Tuesday at a business in Pontiac, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "A person approached our deputies and gave them information that a family member had told them that they had seen on Snapchat a threat to shoot up this graduation ceremony," Bouchard said at a news conference Friday. Authorities kept investigating and recovered two loaded guns with high-capacity magazines from under cars in the parking lot, the sheriff said. Law enforcement "probably prevented a mass shooting," the sheriff said. Deahveon Shamar-James Whaley, 19, was arrested, Bouchard said. Authorities said they took a second suspect, 20-year-old Jamarion Jaryante Hardiman, into custody later Friday after a search. Hardiman and Whaley were not students at the K-12 charter school but were connected via "friends and relatives," the sheriff said, and they appeared to have "ongoing disputes with individuals in the community." Hardiman and Whaley "have a history of being involved with weapons and

Snapchat finally showed up to the Apple Watch party—ten years late, but still making an entrance. After a decade of ignoring watchOS, the company has quietly released its first official Apple Watch app. And while it’s not full-featured, it’s surprisingly useful in a world where most social apps have ditched smartwatches altogether. Instead of trying to cram its entire camera-heavy platform onto a tiny screen, Snapchat kept things simple. The new app lets users preview incoming messages and reply directly from the watch using Scribble, the keyboard, voice dictation, or emojis. You won’t be able to view/take images or videos, and message previews are capped at the first 100 characters. Crucially, reading a message on the Apple Watch won’t mark it as “read” on Snapchat’s mobile or web apps. Image credit: Snapchat According to the company, the app is launching with a limited feature set, but they plan to “evolve the experience over time.” Regardless, the new set of features fits right into the Apple Watch’s strengths. What makes this notable isn’t just what Snapchat is doing, but what everyone else isn’t. There isn't a dedicated Facebook app for the Apple Watch, or even a WhatsApp release. In fact, apps

Simon Clark, head of department at the Alun High School, in Mold, North Wales, preyed on 26 youngsters aged between 10 and 15, Chester Crown Court heard. The 46-year-old, a father of two, whose wife has since divorced him and his career ended, has “lost everything”, the court heard. He kept his head bowed as he was jailed. Clark pretended to be a 14-year-old boy using a fake Snapchat profile with the name “Jamie_jones6968” to send hundreds of explicit messages to girl, persuading some to send sexual images in return. Passing sentence, Judge Simon Berkson told the defendant he represented a “significant risk” to children. Judge Berkson said: “It is, of course, every parent’s worst nightmare, this sort of thing happening to their children. “Many of the offences involve sexual communication, some involving inciting children to engage in sexual activity. This was well-planned and sophisticated criminal behaviour. “You clearly have a sexual interest from the sexual abuse of children and gain sexual gratification from it.” Simon Clark.
