Elon says pickup trucks are a couple years out from tesla. Pokes fun at ram trucks saying that the "12,000 lbs of steel beams" is for building "children's toys" compared to what elons semi based truck design would carry.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tesla is still a couple of years away from selling a pickup, but Elon Musk is already talking smack about other trucks.

Musk was tweeting about how Tesla's Autopilot feature reduces driver fatigue, when Dodge Ram Owner wrote: "You would still be physically fatigued if you tried to haul 12,000 lbs of steel beams like I do every day with my Dodge Ram, 2019s motor trend [sp] truck of the year."

Musk responded "12,000 lbs!? How puny. Do you construct children's toys?"

Musk has previously claimed Tesla's electric truck will have "crazy torque" and be able to tow 300,000 pounds.
THE 2019 RAM HEAVY DUTY PICKUP IS A MONSTROUS TRUCK:
While it's unlikely that will be its official SAE-approved rating, which is calculated through a series of acceleration, braking and uphill towing tests, conventional pickups have performed amazing feats of strength over short distances.

The most memorable of these exhibitions involved a Toyota Tundra with a 10,100-pound tow rating pulling the 292,000-pound Space Shuttle Endeavour a quarter-mile down a Los Angeles street, while even a battery-powered Tesla Model X SUV, which is rated at 5,000 pounds, once towed a 287,000-pound Boeing 787 down an airport taxiway.

It's unknown if Musk was aware that Dodge Ram Owner is a self-proclaimed parody account that often posts tweets with references to porn, suggestions that Ford truck owners engage in incest and continually calls the Toyota Tacoma a "terrorist truck." Ram was spun off from Dodge as an independent brand in 2010.

Following Musk's tweet, the account, which has 26.5k followers, gleefully proclaimed "LMFAO!!! Just roped in Elon Musk. This ain't over yet Elon. Not by a long shot!"

Musk has said that Tesla should be ready to unveil its futuristic ' cyberpunk' pickup sometime this year, but has not confirmed when it will go into production. The next additions to its lineup, the Model Y SUV and a semi-tractor, are scheduled to begin deliveries next year.

Wisconsin Powerball winner faces massive tax tab: A look at the actual jackpot value

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One lucky person in Wisconsin matched all six numbers during Wednesday night's Powerball drawing, to win $768.4 million.

That is the third largest jackpot in U.S. history.

Unlike the winner of the $1.5 billion Mega Millions jackpot earlier this year in South Carolina, Wisconsin law prevents winners from remaining anonymous. But either way, the IRS was coming for a chunk of the change.

The winning individual is faced with two options - either take the money in the form of a lump sum or an annuity payment - which would be paid out over the course of about 30 years.

In the case of the annuity payment - the less common option - a winner would receive one immediate payment and 29 consecutive ones. The amount paid increases by 5 percent each year, according to K. Eli Akhavan, partner and chair of the Private Client and Wealth Preservation Group at CKR Law.

However, if the prize is taken in the form of a lump sum, it would be valued at about $477 million. About $114.5 million will be immediately withheld in federal taxes, bringing the amount down to around $362.5 million.

The IRS will also likely tax the winnings at the highest federal income bracket, which now sits at 37 percent for individuals with incomes in excess of $500,000. You would owe any difference left over between that tax rate (37 percent) and the federal withholding rate (24 percent) when you file your tax return at the end of the year - or 13 percent. In this case that shaves off another $62 million.

Depending on where the winner lives, the jackpot could also be subject to state taxes, with amounts that range from 0 percent to 8.82 percent.

In Wisconsin, the state is expected to take a tax bite equal to 7.65 percent (the top tax rate). That will deduct another $36.5 million.

That brings the overall tax tab up to about $213 million. From the lump sum value of $477 million, this would mean the take home pay is around $264 million.

Winnings are not subject to the 3.8 percent net investment income tax.

If the winner plans on giving money away, under current law he or she is allowed to give up to $15,000 to as many people as desired without tax consequences.

Akhavan advised any lottery winners to retain an attorney to help with asset protection.

"I frequently advise my clients on the use of sophisticated trusts and other techniques to ensure maximum protection," he said. "A financial adviser should be selected to help prudently invest these assets. We here all too often about lotto winners whose funds are mismanaged and they end up squandering their fortune."

Wednesday's original lottery prize was estimated at $750 million - but after Americans went out to purchase tickets in droves, the jackpot increased to an estimated $768.4 million.

On Saturday, the Powerball drawing resets to $40 million.

Florida Police say drinking vodka from sunscreen bottles only works if they don"t see you

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Spring breakers will need to find a new way to foil the Florida cops.

In a real-life incident that appears to have been lifted straight from an episode of FXX's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," spring breakers in Okaloosa County are apparently now drinking liquor from sunscreen bottles - but the cops are already wise to their ruse.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office shared the news Wednesday on Facebook, along with a fun "spring break fact" for anyone thinking about attempting the trick themselves.

"Hiding vodka in a sunscreen bottle only works if you don't let a Deputy see you drink out of it," the sheriff's office warned.
SPRING BREAK NATION: IS THIS THE 'BEST BEACH' IN TEXAS?
However, the sunscreen bottles pictured likely never contained sunscreen at all, as those exact bottles are currently being marketed as discreet flasks on sites including eBay.

Facebook users were also quick to make jokes about the incident, or offer alternatives for spring breakers seeking to circumvent the rules.

"I'll take a Tito's and SPF-30 please," one person joked in response.

"Amateurs. Should have used a water bottle like the rest of us," said another.

A representative for the department was not immediately available to confirm whether the beachgoers who owned those sunscreen containers were arrested.

Alcohol, meanwhile, is permitted on the area's beaches, WKRG reports, albeit not in glass bottles. Underage drinking is not tolerated.

Spring breakers, however, can always find other ways to entertain themselves on the beach, like, for instance, photo-bombing a bikini fashion-shoot and becoming an instant Internet sensation:

Teen who shoved her friend off a bridge get sentanced

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A judge granted a Washington state mother's request to lock up a young woman, who admitted to shoving her daughter off a 60-foot bridge, for "as many days in jail as her daughter" spent in the hospital.

Tay'Lor Smith was expected to walk out of court on Wednesday to begin a promised plea bargain of 60 days of electronic home confinement, 30 days of community work crew and 30 days of community service. Instead, Genelle Holgerson, the mother of Jordan Holgerson, asked the judge "to force" Smith to "spend as many days in jail" as her daughter spent confined to a hospital bed, while recovering from the incident.

In a surprise turn of events, the judge went against the planned plea agreement and sent Smith to jail for 48 hours.

Once she completes her confinement, Smith will have to serve an additional 38 days on a work crew.

The sentencing comes one week after Smith pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless endangerment, which is considered a gross misdemeanor that is punishable by up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $5,000.

(KATU) Jordan Holgerson, 16, was pushed off the bridge in Vancouver, Wash.

Smith, who was 18 at the time, pushed Jordan Holgerson off a bridge over the Lewis River at Moulton Falls Regional Park near Vancouver, Washington, on Aug. 7, 2018.

Jordan Holgerson, then 16, plunged the equivalent of three stories before belly-flopping into the water below. She suffered "significant injuries" including six broken ribs, a punctured lung and air bubbles in her chest, authorities said.

The incident was captured on a cellphone video that went viral on social media, but has since been removed. Surveillance camera video also shows the moment Smith shoved Jordan Holgerson off the bridge's ledge.

According to the initial complaint filed in Clark County district court last year, Jordan Holgerson told authorities that Smith was the one who pushed her and that it was unwanted. Smith admitted to pushing Jordan Holgerson off the bridge, but told authorities she did so in an attempt to help her friend overcome her fear and not to injure her.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News on "Good Morning America," Smith said she didn't consider the repercussions beforehand.

"She wanted to jump and she was scared and she had asked me to give her a push, and I didn't think about the consequences," Smith told "GMA" co-anchor Michael Strahan. "I thought she would be fine."

White supremacists murdered Alaska man as part of 'vile and racist gang,' feds say

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Federal authorities filed criminal murder charges against members of a "vile and racist" white supremacist gang that operates in state-run prisons across Alaska, Arizona and Colorado, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday.

Six of the alleged members of the 1488 prison gang were indicted for murder, assault, kidnapping and a host of other charges in connection with the brutal beating death of Michael Staton, a member whose Nazi tattoo was burned off his rib cage with a hot knife, according to the indictment.

"The defendants allegedly participated in the heinous murder of Michael Staton, with the goal of impressing their vile and racist gang," Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski said in a statement Wednesday. "The Criminal Division is committed to bringing the 1488s to justice, and holding accountable those who further its agenda of violence and hatred."

(AP Photo/Mark Thiessen) Bryan Schroder, Alaska's U.S. Attorney announces that several members of a white supremacist gang operating in Alaska prisons or shipped to facilities in Colorado and Arizona, have been charged in a racketing enterprise in Anchorage, Alaska, Wednesday, March 27, 2019.

Those charged include Filthy Fuhrer, 42 (formerly Timothy Lobdell); Roy Naughton, 40; Craig King, 53; Beau Cook, 32; Colter O'Dell, 26; and 37-year-old Glen Baldwin, who is still at large. The men allegedly kidnapped, assaulted and murdered Staton, 34, in August 2017 in order to gain membership or increase their ranking within the 1488s.

Two others, Nicholas Kozorra and Dustin Clowers, previously pleaded guilty to murder charges in Staton's death. Federal prosecutors also announced charges against several other members or associates who were accused of various crimes, including drug possession, carjacking and possession of stolen mail and illegal firearms.

The "whites only" prison gang spawned out of Alaska around 2010, according to the indictment, which described the organization as one that requires members to "be white, look white and act white."

"In order to be considered for membership, a person had to be sponsored by a 1488 member. The 1488s did not accept homosexuals, 'rats,' or individuals who had been charged with sex offenses," the indictment stated. "The 1488s used Nazi-derived symbols to identify themselves and demonstrate their affiliation with the gang."

The most-coveted tattoo of 1488s is the Nazi-inspired "patch" that consists of an Iron Cross superimposed over a swastika that can only be worn by "made" members who gained full affiliation "by committing an act of violence on behalf of the gang," according to the indictment.

Court documents did not list attorneys for the suspects charged.

Illegal immigrant kills police officer in Washington state.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
GUILLERMO ARIAS/AFP/Getty Images

Last Tuesday night, an illegal alien road rage suspect allegedly shot and killed a Washington state sheriff's deputy named Ryan Thompson. According to Fox News, Thompson tragically became the first active-duty law enforcement officer to be shot and killed in the line of duty in Kittitas County, Washington since 1927.

Here is how commentator Daniel Horowitz summarized the incident at Conservative Review:

Because of an illegal alien who overstayed his agriculture visa, a sheriff's deputy in Washington state is dead and another local police officer wounded. According to Fox News, "29-year-old Juan Manuel Flores Del Toro, a Mexican citizen, entered the U.S. at Laredo, Texas, in April 2014 on a temporary agricultural worker visa." The maximum duration of an H-2A visa is no longer than three years. Del Toro's visa expired at some time several years ago, but he still remained in the country illegally for an unknown amount of time. Tuesday night, following a road rage incident with Del Toro, police were called out to the scene, and the illegal alien opened fire on the cops. The 42-year-old Kittitas County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Thompson was killed, and 22-year-old Kittitas Police Officer Benito Chavez was wounded. ...The suspect in this killing should long ago have been removed from this country.

According to Fox News, "Ellensburg[, Washington] Police Capt. Dan Hansberry said there were no warrants pending for [Del Toro's] arrest, and officers do not know why he fled the attempted stop."

Thompson was married with three children at the time of his untimely death.

The tragedy of crimes committed by illegal aliens is that every single crime is, by definition, a preventable one. And all that had to have been done in order to prevent each committed crime was the proper enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. As Horowitz also notes, Congress passed a statute in 1996 that mandated the creation of a visa tracking system to monitor and apprehend illegal aliens who overstay their visas. And as the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) notes, there were nearly 700,000 visa overstays just in 2017.

With border crossing numbers only further increasing, of late, illegal immigration continues to pose a severe national threat. As The Daily Wire reported earlier this month, even a Washington Post national security reporter specializing in immigration enforcement and drug trafficking found himself so flabbergasted by the latest numbers reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that he could only find one word to describe the influx: "Bonkers."

Also in CBP's briefing today:

--Honduras has displaced Mexico as the #2 source of unauthorized migration (Guatemala has been #1 since Nov)
--Last month was the busiest Feb at the border in 12 years
--31k referrals for medical care, up from 12k last Feb

These numbers are bonkers
- Nick Miroff (@NickMiroff) March 5, 2019

Illegal aliens in the United States routinely commit violent crimes. Consider the following data from the Texas Department of Public Safety, in summarizing the endemic illegal alien crime problem in the nation's largest border state:

According to DHS status indicators, over 282,000 criminal aliens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011 and February 28, 2019, of which over 191,000 were classified as illegal aliens by DHS.

Over the course of their entire Texas criminal careers, these 191,000 illegal aliens were charged with more than 471,000 criminal offenses which included arrests for 1,026 homicide charges; 53,056 assault charges; 15,055 burglary charges; 60,799 drug charges; 709 kidnapping charges; 29,203 theft charges; 41,540 obstructing police charges; 3,549 robbery charges; 5,674 sexual assault charges; 6,948 sexual offense charges; and 6,829 weapon charges. DPS criminal history records reflect those criminal charges have thus far resulted in over 217,000 convictions including 474 homicide convictions; 23,020 assault convictions; 7,808 burglary convictions; 31,500 drug convictions; 289 kidnapping convictions; 13,813 theft convictions; 20,954 obstructing police convictions; 1,959 robbery convictions; 2,987 sexual assault convictions; 3,742 sexual offense convictions; and 3,059 weapon convictions.

Energy drink addict shares photo of 'eaten away' tongue.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A teacher has shared horrific photos of his tongue that was "eaten away" after he downed six energy drinks a day.

Dan Royals posted the picture of his blistered and peeling tongue, to warn people of the dangers of guzzling the popular drinks.

In a post on Facebook he said he would regularly drink five or six a day - with cans containing up to 58g of sugar each.

'Be warned'

He wrote: "Who drinks energy drinks? Addicted to them? You may want to think again.

"That's what that s--- does to your tongue, imagine what it's like on your internals.
DOCTORS EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY AFTER DRINKING SODA
"Up until recently when this started to occur, I was drinking at least 5-6 a day (lack of energy teaching kids usually) and I brush daily, went to the doctor and boom!

"Found out it's the chemicals in these drinks that are causing it... it literally eats away at your tongue."

Dan, an Australian living in Asia, said he is a smoker, but added that his doctor said the damage was down to his energy drink addiction.

Though Dan doesn't make it clear how long he's been hooked on energy drinks, it's likely he had been drinking five or six a day for some time.

Links to diabetes, heart problems and miscarriage

Experts regularly warn of the dangers of drinking too many energy drinks.
As well as high levels of sugar, they contain caffeine, taurine and other herbal ingredients.

Typically drinks like Red Bull and Monster contain 80mg of caffeine per 100ml - roughly the same as three cans of Coke or a cup of instant coffee, the Food Standards Agency states.

A study by the World Health Organization adds: "A study in the US showed that dental cavities can result from the acidic pH and high-sugar content of products such as energy drinks.

"Another study showed that consumption of energy drinks can cause erosion and smear layer removal in the teeth, leading to cervical dentin hypersensitivity."

WHO lists the dangers of energy drinks, including:

? caffeine overdose

? type 2 diabetes

? poor dental health

? obesity

? late miscarriages, low birth weight and stillbirths in pregnant women

? neurological and cardiovascular problems in kids and teenagers

In November last year a study showed just one energy drink is enough to cause heart problems.

Scientists at the University of Texas found the drinks narrow your blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart attacks and stroke - in just 90 minutes.

The findings echo past studies, which have warned young people to steer clear of the drinks.

Last year, a Canadian study found energy drinks could trigger nasty side effects like heart problems and seizures in half of kids.

It led to calls for a ban on sales of the drinks to young people and children.
Professor David Hammond said: "The number of health effects observed in our study suggests that more should be done to restrict consumption among children and youth.

Duke's Solution to Its 3-Point Woes: Zion, Zion and More Zion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sean Rayford/Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. - It's still bizarre that Duke's biggest concern is three-point shooting.

When college basketball introduced the three-point shot for the 1986-87 season, the Blue Devils shot 40.2 percent from behind it. En route to the 1992 national championship, Duke shot 43.4 percent that season. When the team won it all again in 2001, it set the since-broken-several-times NCAA record of 407 threes in a single season.

In 31 out of 32 years from 1986-87 to 2017-18, Duke connected on at least 36.3 percent of its three-point attempts. Even the off year's 34.9 percent (2008-09) was still better than the national average (34.2).

Hundreds of thousands of college basketball fans spent some portion of their childhood out in the driveway, shooting from three-point range, dreaming of becoming the next Bobby Hurley, Jeff Capel, Trajan Langdon, Jay Williams, JJ Redick, etc.

Can anyone remember a time before this year that Duke lacked a three-point assassin? Even during the disastrous 13-18 campaign in 1994-95, Capel and Langdon each hit better than 40 percent.

Yet, here we are with the Blue Devils shooting 30.7 percent-it's an even more unsightly 29.8 percent if you take out the 27-of-62 performance in the first two regular-season games- and with that perimeter game looking like it could be their downfall.

Even stranger than the fact that they can't consistently hit 21-foot jump shots is that we're most concerned about it right after their best two-game stretch in more than four months.

From November 20 through March 16, the Blue Devils played 30 contests and shot better than 38.5 percent just three times. They hadn't hit 36 percent of their three-point attempts in consecutive games since the season's first two outings. And in the final 11 games before the tournament, they made 26.4 percent and didn't have one performance better than 35.3.

But Duke shot it well in its first two tournament games. It was 8-of-19 (42.1 percent) in the first round against North Dakota State and 10-of-25 (40.0 percent) in the close call against UCF. RJ Barrett (4-of-7), Zion Williamson (4-of-9) and Cam Reddish (5-of-10) were a combined 50 percent from distance in Columbia.

It didn't feel like it, though, did it?

Rather than the "Zion vs. Tacko" amazement with which we all entered that second-round showdown, the postgame narrative surrounded Tacko Fall's "guarding" Tre Jones and Jordan Goldwire by repeatedly leaving them wide open to dig their own graves.

Jay Williams @RealJayWilliams
Tacko Fall is straight up NOT guarding Tre Jones &amp; just sitting in the paint. Genius strategy by Johnny Dawkins.

"It's definitely something different we haven't seen before," said Duke forward Jack White. "In that respect, it obviously threw us off a little bit."

"[It surprised me] a little bit just because they were playing off so far," said Goldwire. "I knew they were going to play me [that way] because we have two guys that attack the rim really hard. They tried to take that away. And I haven't really shot the ball well this season, so not really surprised by how open I was."

Goldwire was 1-of-20 from three-point range before the tournament and hasn't been much of a shot-taker during his limited time on the court. If White (hamstring) had been available, Goldwire likely wouldn't have played much last weekend. And White said he's confident he'll be ready for the Sweet 16, so we probably shouldn't fret too much about how Duke can hide Goldwire in its offense.

Jones is a different story, though, as he plays 34 minutes per game and didn't come out for a moment against UCF. He is an elite defender, a solid offensive traffic director and a capable driver.

He is not a good in-game three-point shooter.

Jones looks pure in pregame warm-ups, but it's another story once the ball is tipped. He entered the tournament shooting 24.7 percent from three-point range, and he was 1-of-10 in the first two rounds. (He's down to 23.2 percent.) The last time he made multiple three-pointers in a single game was November 19.

To put it lightly, opposing teams have noticed.
Sean Rayford/Associated Press
If memory serves correctly, Duke's first game against North Carolina this season-" The Shoe Game," if you will-was the first time an opponent showed no respect for Jones' perimeter play. There were moments that night when Jones was by himself on one side of the court, free to hit a three if he could.

He finished 1-of-6 from distance and missed all five of his two-point attempts.

That same late-February week, Syracuse and Virginia Tech followed a similar script against the Blue Devils. Those zone defenses already dare teams to shoot threes, but they took that to the extreme with Jones, barely even bothering to rotate over to contest his looks.

He went 2-of-11 in those games.

Granted, during that stretch with Williamson sidelined and with White mired in his 0-of-infinity stretch-it was 28 straight misses, but it felt like he would never hit a shot again-it made sense for Jones to try to snap out of his funk. Aside from Barrett and Reddish, Duke didn't have much in the way of scoring options.

Now that Williamson is back, why is Jones still shooting threes?

He did hit a huge one midway through the second half against UCF, but that was his only make in eight attempts. Jones' air-ball of a wide-open corner three with two minutes left set up the UCF fast break that would have sealed the game for the Knights if Aubrey Dawkins hadn't fumbled the alley-oop.

"They were sagging off me and trying to stop the other guys from attacking the hoop so much, but my teammates trusted in me to take those shots," said Jones. "I just wasn't able to knock 'em down tonight. If the opportunity is there again, I'll definitely be taking those shots again. My teammates and coaches continue to trust me."

Jones doubled down on that statement moments later.

"That's what my team needs to be able to win. They're going to need me to step up that side of my game, and I'll continue to take those shots."

Good on him for believing in himself, but hearing that has to be giving Duke fans terrifying flashbacks to Trevon Duval's 16 shots in last year's Elite Eight loss to Kansas while Marvin Bagley III had one field-goal attempt in the final 14 minutes. The Jayhawks made it their mission to stop Bagley and decided if Duval was going to beat them, so be it.

Substitute Williamson for Bagley and Jones for Duval, and that's exactly what Duke should expect to see out of defenses for the rest of the tournament.

But if the 7'6" Fall and UCF's entire defensive focus couldn't keep Williamson from finishing with 32 points and 11 rebounds, how will Virginia Tech's Kerry Blackshear Jr., Michigan State's Nick Ward or Gonzaga's Brandon Clarke do any better?

Many of you are probably sick of the national media's tendency to worship at the foot of Mount Zion every day for the past few months, but he is the most unstoppable force in college basketball since Glenn Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal in the early 1990s.

After the first-round game, North Dakota State's players kept saying they had never seen anything close to Zion, and they played multiple contests against the NCAA's seventh all-time leading scorer (Mike Daum).

Bagley was great, but he's not the tour de force that Williamson is. Even if he is double-teamed on every possession, Williamson's two-point attempts against two defenders are worth more than Jones' three-point attempts against no defenders-especially if you factor in the inevitable trips to the free-throw line.

Unless Williamson gets into foul trouble, the Blue Devils need to ride the horse that brought them there. He didn't come back from that knee sprain to sit idly by while Duke's guards brick their way out of the tournament.

Duke's Solution to Its 3-Point Woes: Zion, Zion and More Zion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Sean Rayford/Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. - It's still bizarre that Duke's biggest concern is three-point shooting. When college basketball introduced the three-point shot for the 1986-87 season, the Blue Devils shot 40.2 percent from behind it. En route to the 1992 national championship, Duke shot 43.4 percent that season.

CCTV of the shocking moment a woman was pushed in front of a moving bus in London has been released by police.

In the footage, the woman hits her head on the side of the bus before the suspect walked away while holding a child's hand.

Officers say the victim, a woman in her 60s, had an argument with the suspect in a Tesco store just moments before the incident.

The suspect followed the woman to Vauxhall Bridge Road, a busy road in Pimlico, before pushing her into the path of a moving bus.

The incident happened on May 29 2018 at around midday, however officers have only released the footage on Wednesday.

The victim hit the doors of the bus and sustained grazes and bruising to her ankles, shins and knees, a cut to the top of her head and muscle injury to her shoulders.

Officers said the woman they are looking for had two children with her at the time of the assault.

Detective Constable Samantha Edwards who leads the investigation said: "This was an unprovoked assault which could have had much more serious consequences.

"A number of enquiries have been undertaken to locate the person responsible.

"If you recognise this woman I would ask you to contact police immediately.

"It goes without saying that the victim has been deeply affected emotionally by this whole incident."

Please contact the Serious Crime Unit based at Westminster on 101 or tweet @MetCC. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you don't wish to speak to officers directly.
