Rod in leg doesnt stop him from nabbing thief

A post-operation rod in his leg, and medical advice to desist from running, did not deter a braveheart from chasing and finally nabbing the associate of a chain-snatcher. The victim, Swetha, a student of Visual Arts in MMK College in Gulbarga, had come from Raichur to meet her former classmate Mubeen, who is married and resides on Dinnur Main Road in RT Nagar. 

On Wednesday morning, she had been to the Cantonment railway station with Mubeen and the latters sister Tabu to book her return ticket. Mubeen and Swetha left Tabu to book the ticket and went to Mubeens husbands office to give him his lunchbox. Afterwards, they were walking back to the railway station around 11 am when a miscreant snatched Swethas chain near the government veterinary hospital and started running. She alerted a man nearby, who started running after the chain-snatcher. Only after the second man was nabbed did it come to light that he was hand-in-glove with the chain-snatcher. 

Speaking to BM, Swetha said, I did not know the man was an associate of the miscreant. After following them for 300 metres. another man came to my help.Venkatesh, who operates a Canter for sanitary pit cleaning, said, I saw a youth running in front of my house and wondered why he was running. After a minute, I saw the girl running. I ran for some distance but could not spot the man. I returned home, took my scooter and gave chase. I cornered him behind the Sanjevani office on Queens Road. When I asked why he was running, he said a girl was chasing him for no reason. But he tried to get away when he saw the girl running towards us, and I and Ramesh, a boy who works for me, caught him. 

According to the High Grounds police, the miscreant tried to wriggle out of the situation by saying he was from Tannery Road and was not a criminal, but Swetha identified him. He then confessed to the cops that he was an associate of the chain-snatcher. As Swetha had not informed her parents about her trip to the city, she was hesitant to file a complaint. But the High Grounds police convinced her to do so, pointing to the valiant effort made by Venkatesh to catch the miscreant. 

In the first nine months since Superstorm Sandy hit Shore Area towns, about $7.1 million in federal emergency money has been doled out to offset costs of cleanup and removal in some of the hardest hit areas of Monmouth County, state figures show. 

The state Office of Emergency Management, which has been distributing the federal money to municipalities throughout the state, reports that municipalities from Asbury Park to Brielle -- including the non-coastal towns of Wall Township and Spring Lake Heights C received a total of $7,185,545.01 from the federal government, mainly going toward reimbursement for debris removal and safety measures, according to an OEM accounting of public assistance payments. 

The OEM figures cover payments to municipalities, other public entities and some eligible private companies statewide through July 30.He saw the bracelet at a indoortracking store while we were on a trip. The figures are actual dollars received by municipalities to cover emergency costs, not requests made or applications still in the pipeline, OEM officials said Tuesday.Tidy up wires with ease with offershidkits and tie guns at cheap discounted prices. 

But while the aid money is welcome, its a drop in the bucket compared to what towns have spent cleaning up from the October storm, officials said.Its certainly frustrating, said Colleen Connelly, Belmars borough administrator. But we understand that with a disaster of this magnitude comes a lot of bureaucracy. 

Of the 12 towns in the southern Monmouth Shore Area, Belmar has received the largest portion of federal aid money, collecting just more than $2.2 million. Neptune Township, which includes hard hit areas of Ocean Grove and Shark River Hills, received the next largest sum at just more than $1.About amagiccube in China userd for paying transportation fares and for shopping.9 million, according to the figures.Lynn Servon,How to change your dash lights to doublesidedtape this is how I have done mine. secretary of the Neptune Township Economic Development Corporation, said FEMA estimated the townships damages at around $7.2 million. 

The process to get reimbursed for its outlay has been slow until just the past few weeks when the OEM set up an electronic submission system that tracks where in the pipeline requests for reimbursement fall.The bulk of Belmars aid disbursement C $2,031,234.36 -- went to offset costs of debris removal.We offer the biggest collection of old masters that can be turned into hand painted cleanersydney on canvas. The remainder went for emergency procedures and to cover the extra costs incurred by the boroughs first aid squad. A small portion, $1,875, went to replace equipment at the boroughs elementary school, according to the figures. 

Belmars cost for debris removal alone tops $6 million, Connelly said.So what weve received so far has been a partial payment, she said. Connelly said the borough has spent an estimated $25 million on Sandy recovery and expects to get 90 percent of that money back, or about $23 million, from the $51 billion federal aid package approved by Congress earlier this year. 

The borough also has been approved for $9.6 million to offset the cost of rebuilding its 1.3-mile boardwalk, Connelly said.In Wall Township, which disposed of 14,000 tons of felled trees and brush following the October storm, it was not immediately clear how much of the $324,589.90 in FEMA aid went to cover its expenses. A call requesting comment was not returned Tuesday. 

But while cash-strapped municipalities have had to deal with the emergency and its cleanup immediately, the reimbursement process has been less quick, officials said.We couldnt wait to have debris removed, Connelly said. We couldnt wait to put extra protections in place, weve had to deal with the situation in real time. 

New chief executive Ashley Almanza, who took over from embattled boss Nick Buckles on June 1, said the move would strengthen the balance sheet and "improve our strategic focus".The troubled security group said its largest shareholder Invesco supported the placing and intended to participate in it. It said the shares would be issued in an accelerated bookbuild on Wednesday. Citigroup, JP Morgan and Barclays are joint bookrunners for the sale.As well as the new shares, G4S said it had sold two businesses, its Canadian cash security company and Colombia Data solutions businesses for a combined 100m, plus others that all together could raise 250m. 

"In the near term, 2013 will be a year of consolidation for the group with the actions we are now taking starting to deliver tangible benefits during 2014," Mr Almanza said.Shares in the company opened 2.6pc down, but have since regained some ground and are now down 0.2pc.The interim update from Mr Almanza, his first since replacing Mr Buckles, had been much anticipated by investors keen to know how he plans to stabilise and improve margins.In the update the company also unveiled its half-year results, which showed a7.2pc jump in sales for the first six months of the year and organic growth of 5.4pc. 

However, operating profit slipped slightly to 201m, down from a restated 202m a year earlier and the operating margin fell to 5.5pc from 5.9pc a year earlier, reflecting a lost prison contract in the Netherlands and squeezed pricing in Britain and Europe.In a note from analysts at Panmure Gordon said that, despite organic growth being slightly lower than expected, it believe the company has done enough to shore up the balance sheet with the new issues and disposal of company.
