The Philippines Bureau of Customs destroyed 21 smuggled motor vehicles worth $1.2 million in grand fashion this week, crushing them with a backhoe. In two separate, simultaneous events in Manila and Cagayan de Oro, 14 Mitsubishi Jeeps and seven cars of varying makes were obliterated.

All of the vehicles, destined for different consignees, were seized after arriving in the country illegally between 2018 and 2020.

The roster of vehicles crushed is enough to make any car enthusiast cringe. It includes a new McLaren 620R with the R Pack from McLaren Special Operations, which includes a gloss finish visual carbon fiber roof scoop, gloss finish visual carbon fiber front fender louvres and a carbon fiber interior pack. It also has an MSO Defined Titanium SuperSports Exhaust, which increases the loudness of the burble by up to five decibels. Just 225 examples of the model were produced with a price tag of around $335,000 without any additional customization. 👀

The Rochester police department
deputy chief speaks on violent criminal offenders.

We’re expecting high temperatures in some parts of LA County this weekend. Please check on your pets, the elderly and don't forget to hydrate often. If you’re going out this weekend, plan accordingly and call LASD if you need a welfare check on a loved one or a neighbor.

LASD Santa Clarita Valley: You might have heard the saying “Try, try again” but when it comes to setting off fireworks, we don’t recommend that. “Trying” to discharge fireworks is a $500 fine 1st offense. “Try again?” Now a $1,000 fine added & every time after. So “Try, try again?” No, not with fireworks.

Apparently providing tax credits to incentivize businesses to hire convicted felons (and not doing anything about felons caught with guns) is going to solve the problem of exploding violence. Yup. That's a great plan.

Meanwhile, a vigil is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday evening outside Manning Beef in Pico Rivera, with animal rights activists hoping that the captured cattle will get the same chance at sanctuary as the last cow, found today, has gotten.
