2 dead after plane crash near Vermilion Airport: RCMP
Federal investigators have been sent to Vermilion, Alta., after two people died Saturday in a plane crash near the local airport. The plane crashed about 1.2 kilometres short of the airport runway, just north of the town, killing the pilot and sole passenger, RCMP said. The pilot was a 46-year-old woman from Slave Lake, Alta. The passenger was a 76-year-old man from Mannville, Alta., police said. "Shock is going throughout the community," Shawn Jacula, a Vermilion resident and aviator, told CBC News. "It's something that is just unimaginable heartbreak for two families, two individuals who unfortunately lost their lives today, and it's difficult for everyone involved." The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) sent two investigators to Vermilion, which is roughly 175 kilometres east of Edmonton. The investigators will gather information and assess how the crash happened, according to a news release the agency issued Saturday. The TSB, an independent federal agency, examines air, marine, pipeline and rail transportation incidents to improve safety. Its investigations do not assign fault, nor determine liability. The crash occurred the same day Vermilion Airport was scheduled to hold an event for Alberta Air Tours, which visits rural communities to promote aviation. Alberta Air Tours had postponed the event until Sunday, the organization said on Facebook, due to poor weather. It then cancelled the event altogether out of respect after the crash.

Moment masked thieves steal pregnant Tamworth woman's car with her baby scans
A pregnant woman of 28 weeks says she fears for her family's safety after her Mini Cooper was stolen from her driveway in Tamworth. Shocking Ring doorbell footage, from the early hours of this morning, shows the moment a gang of masked thieves stole Laura Haynes' Mini from her home in Browns Lane. The devastated mum-to-be, who lives with her partner Paul, said all of her pregnancy notes, including baby scan photos, were in the car when it was driven away by the thugs in the dead of the night. READ MORE: Hit-and-run probe after man struck by car in Birmingham city centre One of the masked men was seen walking up to the front door holding what was believed to be a relay device which unlocked the vehicle. The gadget, used by car thieves, mimics a key fob signal to unlock and start vehicles without needing the physical key. Laura said the incident had left her "scared" that the gang might return to the family's home again after what she said was now two failed attempts to take her partner's Mercedes. "We're scared they will come back for it because they tried to take Paul's Mercedes last night and it happened six months ago too," said the 27-year-old. The couple only realised the Mini had been taken when they woke up several hours later. Laura added: "I got up and when I looked out the window I noticed Paul's wing mirrors were out and then I thought, 'oh god, where is my car'. "We work hard for these things. That's £15,000 worth of car. "But it's the sentimental stuff. I'm 28 weeks pregnant and all my pregnancy notes were in my car. "Scan photos, things like that. I had a complicated pregnancy to start with so there's a scan before they were even a baby, when they were a dot; all that stuff is in there. "It's stuff I take around with me. I don't know if I can get any of that back from the hospital. I can't rewind my body to that time." Laura said forensic police were at the couple's home earlier today but that no arrests had been made that they were aware of. "We watched the doorbell footage and we could see them trying to get signal for the keys after walking up the drive, three or four of them," said Laura. "They opened the door of the Merc too but they couldn't get it started so they gave up on that. "They tried our front door and were looking through the kitchen window. The thought of someone trying to break in is so scary." We have contacted Staffordshire Police for comment. Anyone with information about this incident should contact the force by calling 101, quoting crime reference number 2125-0093-495 of June 22. You can also share information by emailing
