Rover's return! Missing shih tzu who was missing for eight YEARS is reunited with her delighted owner after being spotted on her street at 11pm on New Year's Eve

A missing Shih Tzu called Roxy returned home after eight years on New Years Eve, stunning her delighted owner who had given him up for dead. Magdalena Klubczuk, 35, thought three-year-old Roxy had been run over after she went missing from her garden while she was at work in the spring of 2013. Ms Klubczuk, who lives in Connah's Quay in Wales, had spent weeks searching for her beloved pet and contacted local veterinary practices, with no luck. Eventually Ms Klubczuk gave up hope of finding her and presumed she had died or been stolen after no one turned her in. But at around 11pm on New Year's Eve Roxy, now 10, was spotted running through the streets of Buckley and taken to Skylor's Animal Rescue.

Businessman accused of trying to rip off a Muslim woman's HIJAB on Tube has assault case thrown out after she and her two friends gave conflicting stories, court papers show

A Polish businessman who was accused of an anti-Islam hate crime had an assault case against him thrown out by a judge after the Muslim woman's key witnesses gave conflicting stories in court. Aniso Abulkadir claimed that she and her friends Luxika Rajeswaran and Oyindamola Olatuyi were assaulted at Baker Street Tube station by Pawel Uczciwek in a 'racially abusive' attack in July 2017. The trio whipped up a social media frenzy by alleging that Mr Uczciwek had tried to rip off Ms Abulkadir's hijab and had hit her. They also published his home address and called for his employer to sack him. At the time, Mr Uczciwek, now 31, denied attempting to remove the hijab and said he had been defending his black girlfriend Yolaine Mossimi from a 'racist attack from three random females'.   Following a police probe, he was charged with religiously-aggravated common assault by beating – which can see offenders handed a possible two-year jail sentence.

Europe's MOST wanted: Prostitute killer, cocaine smuggler and mafia boss top list of fugitives being hunted by Europol

With Brexit looming, questions remain over the UK's relationship with The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, or EuroPol. Headquartered in The Hague in the Netherlands, EuroPol is the law enforcement agency of the European Union and serves as a cross-border police force to track criminals through cooperation between the EU member states. It's focus is primarily on cracking down on serious international organised crime and terrorism through the sharing of information across borders.  But with the UK leaving the EU, there have been warnings from UK police chiefs that the country's fight against international crime will be slowed.  Cross-border investigations will have to be reorganised if the UK crashes out of the EU's security agency with the National Crime Agency saying in November that the UK makes 'extensive use' of Europol's 'significant and unique capabilities'.  Pictured: Europol building, The Hague, the Netherlands, is the h
