Two Chinese nationals were sentenced to federal prison as the final defendants in a nine-year counterfeit Apple product scheme. Wenhui Huang, the ringleader, received six years and six months, while Yang Song got just under five years; both were ordered to pay over $16 million each in restitution. The group returned fake iPhones imported from China to Apple Stores across California.

In Houston, a woman was robbed at Memorial City Mall after buying a MacBook from the Apple Store; two suspects followed her, stole a bag, and were arrested after Flock cameras tracked their vehicle to a cell phone repair shop. Separately, three suspects stole nearly $14,000 in iPads from a Target in Sugar Land, Texas, and were caught fleeing the scene.

A high-profile swindler, Daejon Labrayae Love, impersonated a San Francisco 49ers player and used FaceTime calls and fake banking apps to defraud women over four years alongside accomplice Taylor Jamie Chan. Both face federal wire fraud charges.

In Tacoma, Wash., an AirTag hidden in a stolen truck led police to the vehicle and 20 cats inside, resulting in their rescue.
