(CHINO, Calif.) — Police in California recovered approximately $30,000 worth of stolen Labubu collectibles that were stolen in multiple trips over several days, police said.
Chino Police Department detectives recovered the Labubus after serving a search warrant at a home in Upland, California, where they found 14 boxes of the stolen merchandise, along with evidence indicating the items were about to be resold and shipped across the country, according to a statement from the department.
Detectives said they had been investigating a burglary where, they say, suspects would enter a warehouse and steal boxes, during several trips over multiple days, containing the highly sought-after Labubus that are often sold for high prices online.
“During the investigation, a search warrant was served at a residence in Upland,” Chino officials said. “One suspect attempted to flee but ultimately surrendered without incident. Detectives recovered fourteen boxes of stolen merchandise, along with evidence indicating the items were being prepared for resale and shipment across the country.”
The recovered property was quickly returned to the rightful owners, police said.
Police did not say if any had identified any suspects or brought any charges in the case.

(CLAIRTON, Pa.) — Two people have died and 10 are injured following an explosion at a Pennsylvania steel plant on Monday, Allegheny County police said.
The incident at the U.S. Steel Clairton Coke Works plant in Clairton, about 15 miles outside of Pittsburgh, trapped people under rubble, prompting a rescue operation, according to Allegheny County officials.
Of those injured, five are in critical but stable condition and five were taken to the hospital, treated and released, according to officials.
“Injured employees have now been transported to local hospitals to receive care, and search-and-rescue efforts remain active at the plant,” Gov. Josh Shapiro said on social media. “Lori and I are eternally thankful for the bravery of our first responders — and we continue to pray for the entire Clairton community.”
One person who died in the explosion was identified as Timothy Quinn, Clairton Mayor Richard Lattanzi confirmed to ABC News.
The second individual, who was found dead on Monday night, has not yet been identified.
The explosion inside a battery operating area at the plant was reported at 10:51 a.m., and “multiple secondary explosions” were reported after that, Allegheny County officials said.
David B. Burritt, president and CEO of U.S. Steel, said in a statement, “We are working closely with relevant authorities to investigate the cause of the incident.”
“Nearly 1,300 dedicated men and women work at the Clairton Plant each day, performing their jobs with the utmost safety,” Burritt said. “During times like this, U.S. Steel employees come together to extend their love, prayers, and support to everyone affected.”
Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato said at a news conference, “Out of an abundance of caution, we advise residents within 1 mile of the plant to remain indoors, close all windows and doors, set HVAC systems to recirculate, and avoid activities that draw in outside air, such as exhaust fans.”
The Allegheny County Health Department is monitoring the incident and Innamorato said the department’s “air quality monitors have not detected a rise in PM 2.5 [fine inhalable particles under 2.5 micrometers] or sulfur dioxide above federal standards.”

(PORTLAND, Ore.) — The United States Coast Guard suspended the search for a missing fisherman after a vessel with four people on it capsized in 7-foot swells and heavy winds off the coast of Oregon, officials said.
Authorities at Coast Guard Sector Columbia River received a report at about 4 p.m. on Sunday that a 40-foot fishing vessel named Das Bug had taken on water while transiting through the Yaquina Bay Jetty and capsized with all four crew members ending up in the water, according to a statement from the Coast Guard on Monday.
“Three individuals were rescued from the water by a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat crew from Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay and transferred to emergency medical services,” the Coast Guard said. “The individuals were taken to Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital and treated for hypothermia.”
Crews from Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay and an MH-65 Dolphin crew from Coast Guard Air Station North Bend conducted evening searches for the missing individual but could not locate the missing fisherman.
A first light search was also conducted on Monday by an MH-65 Dolphin crew from Coast Guard Air Station North Bend but the decision was made to suspend the search for the missing man shortly after when crews were unable to find him.
In total rescue crews searched for eight hours, covering a total of 54 square miles and searched in inclement weather, including 7-foot swells and 13 knot winds.
“Suspending a search without finding the person you have been looking for is always one of the most difficult decisions we have to make,” said Lt. Cdr. Jacqueline Hunnicutt, search and rescue mission coordinator for Coast Guard Sector Columbia River. “Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”

The deaths of two South Carolina women are being investigated as a possible homicide after their bodies were found in a rural, wooded area on Aug. 8, according to the Sumter County Coroner’s Office. Sumter County Sheriff’s Office
(SUMTER COUNTY, S.C.) — The deaths of two South Carolina women are being investigated as homicides after their bodies were found in a rural, wooded area on Friday, according to the Sumter County Coroner’s Office.
At approximately 1 p.m. on Friday, two bodies were discovered near a rural, wooded area in Rembert, South Carolina, off Richbow Road, officials said.
The person who discovered the bodies alerted authorities and “met deputies upon their arrival,” the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
On Friday, Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis — who joined investigators on the scene — said the deaths were “suspicious.” However, Dennis noted that they would need to wait until they “have the results of the autopsies to know more.”
In a press release shared with ABC News on Monday, the coroner’s office identified the victims as 35-year-old Christine Marie McAbee and 38-year-old Kristen Grissom, and said the deaths would be investigated as homicides.
The two were from Charleston County, which is over 100 miles from where their bodies were found.
The autopsies will be performed on Tuesday at the Medical University in Charleston, the coroner’s office said. Officials said the women’s families have been notified of their deaths.
Anyone with more information regarding the incident should contact the sheriff’s office at 803-436-2000 or submit a tip online.
More information regarding the deaths will “be released as it becomes available,” according to the sheriff’s office.
The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.
(NEW YORK) — Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to strengthen into the first hurricane of the Atlantic season by Wednesday and could become a major Category 3 hurricane by the weekend.
But as of now, Erin is not expected to post a direct threat to the U.S.
Long-range modeling shows Erin moving through the ocean between Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast from Aug. 19 to Aug. 21. Because Erin is still more than one week away, meteorologists in Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast will be watching the storm closely, as any deviation east or west could lead to significant impacts.
