Zack Sharf Back in 2001, Sean Penn found himself next to Jack Nicholson in a speeding car on the way to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin. The two actors were in Russia for the world premiere of “The Pledge” at the Moscow Film Festival. The Penn-directed psychological drama starred Nicholson as a retiring police detective who vows to catch the killer of a young child. Penn recently spoke to The Independent about his anxiety-inducing journey to meet Putin. “We were put in a convoy,” Penn said. “We knew that Putin was going to be the honored guest. In the nature of that time and space, we accepted the invitation. We got in this convoy, and we were going as fast as they wanted to drive, with no care for whether it might have presented danger in the villages we drove through.”
Brazen thief caught on CCTV stealing mobile phone from Glasgow shop
05.02.2023 - 22:33 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A bold thief has been captured on CCTV stealing from a small business in Glasgow. Mr Ali, who owns Mobile Planet, on Saracen Street in Possilpark was appalled to find out that a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note, worth £650 was nicked by a customer while he was assisting them.
The woman entered the shop around 2pm on Friday, February 3, and engaged the shopkeeper in conversation about possibly buying a phone for a "wee girl", according to GlasgowLive.
She is spotted on camera asking Mr Ali to look on a shelf behind the till which requires him to turn his back on her. While he is looking for the item, the culprit can be seen reaching over into a display cabinet and snatching the phone before quickly packing it into her bag.
She casually continues to speak to Mr Ali about the possible purchase before saying she "needs to go to the post office" and leaving the shop with the stolen device. Mr Ali reported the theft to the police but claims cops are yet to attend the shop to review the CCTV footage.
He said: "This woman came to my shop and stole a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Brand New worth £650. We have contacted the police and it is not an emergency in their eyes. As usual hard-working people are left out of pocket."
The woman was picked up on CCTV outside the shop wearing a grey/silver padded jacket with a fur hood, patterned leggings, and black trainers. She had dark blonde hair and was carrying a black handbag.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 4.30pm on Friday, February 3, police were called to a report of the theft of a mobile phone from a shop on Saracen Street, Possilpark, Glasgow. Enquiries are continuing."
