Luke Hines has shared his encounter with a brazen thief.

The former My Kitchen Rules star posted a video to Instagram Stories showing security footage from the secure parking lot of his Sydney apartment building.

A man in a hoodie could be seen sneaking in as Luke drove in at 7am, looked at some parked bikes and opened a door.

The man later returned to the scene and used bolt cutters to cut the safety chain off a bicycle and wheeled it out of the garage.

Luke, who lives in Bondi, said he felt something was wrong and inspected the area before locking the entrance door, but he didn’t miss anything.

He later reviewed the footage and realized the opportunistic thief had slipped in after driving his car through an automatic door.

The man entered just seconds after Luke left the parking lot, brandishing what Luke described as a weapon in the shape of a metal bar, which was left behind.

He said the building is very secure and requires a PIN to enter, but the man managed to sneak in.

Fortunately, he was unharmed, but the thief managed to make off with the expensive bicycle.

Luke appeared in My Kitchen Rules in 2014, which he won with friend Scott Gooding.

He is also a fitness coach who once worked with Angelina Jolie, as well as a TV host and cookbook author.

The fitness guru made headlines when he gained weight during the pandemic lockdowns and then managed to shift 10kg in 10 weeks.

Luke weighed 85kg before Covid, but ballooned to 100kg thanks to eating treats as if they were regular meals and poor exercise habits.

“When I decided to lose weight, I wrote down everything I did and documented it to help others on their weight loss journey,” Luke told FEMAIL.

“I learned that it’s all about a strong mindset.”

Luke BryanThe Nashville bar is under investigation for allegedly overserving a student Riley Tribe before he disappeared.

Tennessee officials confirmed on Wednesday, March 13, that they are investigating Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink. When last seen on March 8, Strain was asked to leave the downtown establishment.

“We are investigating whether Mr. Strain was served alcohol while visibly intoxicated,” said communications director for the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Aaron Rommel told NBC News.

According to local NBC affiliate WSMV, Strain visited Nashville while traveling with his University of Missouri fraternity for a spring formal. He was asked to leave Bryan’s bar at 9:45 PM and told his friends he was walking back to his hotel.

Stars behind the bar! While an acting or reality TV career may be enough for some celebrities, there are a handful of famous faces who own bars in addition to their roles on the big and small screens. Take Justin Theroux for example. The Wanderlust star opened a bar called Ray’s in New York City […]

Strain’s stepfather, Chris Whiteid, said in an interview on Top Story With Tom Llamas that he never returned to the hotel. Surveillance footage showed Strain apparently taking a wrong turn on the way to his residence.

University of Missouri officials released a statement on Monday, March 11, noting that they have “been in contact with the family and authorities” in Nashville who are working to find Strain.

“The safety of our community is our top priority,” the spokesperson said Angela King Taylor, Interim Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. “Our thoughts are with Riley’s family as the search continues. We will provide them with all the support we can, and we encourage anyone who needs help to reach out to our counseling resources.”

TC Restaurant Group, which operates and owns Luke’s 32 Bridge, previously agreed to provide security camera footage and other information to assist authorities.

“In our effort to assist the Nashville Metro Police Department’s missing persons investigation of Riley Strain, we proactively provided detailed information soon after his visit to our business on March 8. This information included all security camera footage, photos of Riley in our establishment with detailed information. time stamps, transaction data and employee accounts,” read a statement We weekly. “In addition, we have proactively communicated with the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission and will continue to communicate and provide any data necessary to support their ongoing investigation.”

The statement continued: “During Riley’s visit to Luke’s 32 Bridge, our records indicate he purchased and was served one alcoholic beverage and two waters. At 9:35 p.m., based on our standards of conduct, our security team made the decision to escort him from the location through our Broadway exit at the front of our building. He was followed down the stairs with a member of his party. The person with Riley did not go outside and returned upstairs. Our prayers remain with Riley’s friends and family during this difficult time and for his safe return.”

Bryan, 47, took to social media on Tuesday, March 12, to spread the news of Strain’s disappearance.

APPLE fans are obsessed with a little-known (but extremely useful) iPhone trick.

It makes it much easier to switch between apps – and completely changes the way you use your iPhone.

1

For many people, exercise is in between iPhone apps means swiping away from one and then tapping the other.

But you can switch between apps with a simple gesture that’s easy to miss.

It was shared in a Reddit thread created by someone asking for tips, and received dozens of upvotes.

An user wrote: “This one’s cool: Instead of swiping up to switch between apps in the main scrolling menu, you can swipe left and right on the white home bar and switch between apps from full screen.”

Try this: look for the white bar at the bottom of the screen when you’re in an app and swipe from left to right.

Please note that sometimes it may be a black bar instead of a white bar.

This way you can quickly switch back and forth between your recent apps.

And you can also do this directly from the home screen, but you will have to drag your finger along the bottom edge of the screen.

I FIND!

Many iPhone fans were completely shocked by the feature.

‘I can’t believe it,’ say iPhone owners after finding a secret trick to falling asleep, saying it’s ‘the only way I can sleep’

One wrote: “OMG. I HAVE BEEN USING IPHONE 5 SINCE. I didn’t know this.”

Another said: “This is legit going to change my life lol.”

One added: “Oh s***. iPhone for YEARRRRS and had no idea. Thanks!”

And one user who already knew the trick wrote: “I copy names and emails from screenshots back and forth and paste them into Google Sheets.

“And this has saved me so much time this past year, it’s so fast.”

The feature is much faster than going back to the home screen to get your next one app.

But it’s only really useful if you’re trying to access recently used apps – and can’t find apps you rarely open.

KEYBOARD MURDER

There’s also another neat typing trick shared in the thread.

Sometimes it can be difficult to place the cursor on text you typed on an iPhone.

This is especially true if you try to drop it in the middle of a word.

But you can actually transform your iPhone’s keyboard so it works like a laptop trackpad.

Just hold your finger on the space bar of the iPhone keyboard and the letters will disappear.

You can then drag your finger across the virtual trackpad to position the cursor with pinpoint precision.

PUNTS were left devastated after a popular drunk made the announcement will shut up for good later this month.

Tiny Rebel Brewery, in Newport, has just announced that it is being forced to close up shop after just under a decade on the high street.

The Newport-based brewery announced on social media that it was no longer financially viable to keep the bar open.

Despite a huge turnover of £16.2m last year, Wales’ biggest brewery can no longer keep up with the cost of living.

Tiny Rebel said: ‘Since the pandemic, Newport city center has been slowly imploding, with the retail and hospitality sectors bearing the brunt.

“Visitor numbers have declined, operating costs have increased significantly and the hospitality sector has received limited support from the government.

“Unfortunately, our Tiny Rebel Bar in Newport High Street has fallen victim to these factors.”

The brewery added that they have tried to stay afloat over the past year and a half, but are now forced to make this difficult decision.

The company claimed that they will do everything they can to support their current staff, whether they stay with them or move.

The Newport bar is open until March 31.

Tiny Rebel was created by friends Brad Cummings and Gareth Williams who started brewing at home in their garage.

Over the past ten years, the company has grown exponentially and is now worth millions.

The company has a popular bar on Westgate Street, Cardiff, and a brewery in Rogerstone.

The Newport Brewery initially opened as a pop-up in 2015 and continued to operate due to its popularity.

Local punters have been devastated by the news, with many taking to social media to air their grievances.

One Facebook user wrote: “This really sucks. Tiny Rebel is certainly one of the main attractions of Newport City Centre, without it it will only get worse.”

Another said: “No, absolutely gutted, the staff there are all absolutely amazing! Geek Retreat had such a good Christmas party there last December, we were hoping to celebrate the store’s second birthday there too.”

While a third said: “Absolutely gutted.. my favorite bar/pub.so I’m going to miss the dirty chips, wings, great beer, tunes and staff.. can’t believe it.”

Former colleagues even joined the crowd of discouraged fans.

One posted: “One of the best places I’ve ever worked. I wish all my ex-colleagues the best for the future. One love, guys.”

The news comes just days after a popular family brewery based in Knutsford, Cheshire, revealed it will close for good.

The English family brewery has been supplying beer to pubs for fourteen years and says it is “really sad” that “the end of the road has been reached”.

On Facebook, the brewer explained how “unprecedented increases in the cost of living, fuel prices, raw materials and many other factors” ultimately made it “no longer viable” for them to continue.

A report last year found that 45 British craft breweries have become insolvent – a big jump from the 15 bankruptcies the year before, according to Just drinks.

The major drinks giant Brewdog permanently closed a brewery location on an iconic beer mile last year.

According to Brewdog, the venue had to close due to “rampant inflation, rising energy costs and relentless pressure on the cost of living”.

Section 144 in Pune: According to police, key restrictions include all bars and permit rooms strictly adhering to the 1:30 am closing time.

Section 144 imposed in Bengal’s Sandeshkhali after violent protest

Pune: The restrictions imposed under Section 144 have been extended in Pune till March 31, Pune Police said, adding that the decision was taken after consultation with all stakeholders. Earlier this month, Section 144 was imposed in the city by the Pune Police until March 4.

Giving details, Pune Police said that a meeting was held with all stakeholders on February 28 and the authorities had considered all suggestions and objections from them and accordingly a revised order was passed on Monday.

After the meeting, Pune Police issued 26 directives for a safe environment and maintenance of peace in the city.

View the full list of restrictions

  1. According to police, the main restrictions are that all bars and permit rooms strictly adhere to the 1:30 am closing time.
  2. All indoor music performance limits must be 1:30 am.
  3. The limit for outdoor music performances should be 10:00 PM.
  4. No more orders for food and drinks may be taken after 1:15 am.
  5. A 30 minute grace period will be allowed to leave their establishment.

The police said they have incorporated possible suggestions from the stakeholders, and now all stakeholders must adhere to the police guidelines.

Commenting on Section 144 in the city, Ganesh Shetty, president of Pune Restaurants and Hoteliers Association (PRAHA), told HT, “We have told the police that some police officials are forcing restaurant owners to close at 11.30 pm. They should at least allow us to do business before 1:30 am. ”

He further added that they have requested the police not to intervene in liquor-related cases. According to the government’s GR, such cases should be dealt with by the state excise department.

The Baguette Bar, near the center of Swindon, welcomed customers for the final time on Friday, March 1.

Shoppers are devastated after discovering the store, best known for its “Workman’s Ham”, has closed permanently after opening 30 years ago.

One said: “This is the worst news ever, even more devastating than Take That’s split.

“My father took me here as a child and I also brought my children. Such a shame.”

Another said: “Oh no, my hometown favourite, so sad,” while a third added: “What the hell, I go there at least twice a week, never knew they were closing.”

Even a local real estate agent weighed in, posting on his Facebook page: “The place to celebrate a good week for over 20 years.

“We loved them so much that in 2018 we even reduced our fee for the sale of the owners’ home a few doors down.”

It comes after a turbulent time for retailers in Swindon.

Shoe chain Schuh lowered the shutters of its branch in the city on January 13.

Shoppers quickly labeled the closure as a sign that the “city center is dead”.

Shopping Discounts – How to Save and Find the Best Bargains

Meanwhile, the Midcounties Co-operative closed one of its stores on February 3 and Sports Direct said it would close a branch early this year.

According to local news reports, Boots in Swindon also closed on February 9, as did M&S, which closed last October.

Why are retailers closing their stores?

Retailers in Britain are feeling the pressure as households increasingly shop online.

The working from home trend that took off during the pandemic also meant people spent less time on the high street.

This, in combination with high energy and labor costs and inflation in recent years, has led to a number of companies having to close their doors.

Some major brands have gone bankrupt, including Wilko, Paperchase and most recently The Body Shop.

Meanwhile, other retailers such as Boots are consolidating their portfolios and turning their attention away from the high street.

But it’s not all bad news. Some retailers have expanded their physical store presence in the UK.

B&M recently announced the exact dates it will open ten more branches in March and April.

It comes after the retailer opened 17 branches in January and February.

Why are retailers closing their stores?

RETAILERS have been feeling the pressure since the pandemic, as shoppers cut back on spending due to the rising cost of living.

High energy costs and the move to online shopping after the pandemic are also taking their toll, with many high street stores struggling to continue.

The high street has seen a slew of closures in the past year, with more to come.

The number of jobs lost in UK retail fell last year, but 120,000 people still lost their jobs, figures show.

Figures from the Center for Retail Research show that 10,494 stores will have closed for the last time in 2023 and 119,405 jobs will have been lost in the sector.

It was fewer stores than had been lost in recent years, and a decrease from the 151,641 jobs lost in 2022.

The centre’s director, Professor Joshua Bamfield, said the improvement is “less bad” than good.

While some big names on the high street were lost, including Wilko, many major companies had already gone bankrupt before 2022, the center said, such as Topshop owner Arcadia, Jessops and Debenhams.

“The cost of living crisis, inflation and rise in interest rates have prompted many consumers to tighten their belts, causing retail spending to fall,” said Prof Bamfield.

“Retailers themselves have faced rising energy and occupancy costs, staff shortages and declining demand, making rebuilding profits after extensive store closures during the pandemic exceptionally difficult.”

Besides Wilko, which employed around 12,000 people when it went bust, the biggest failures of 2023 include UK Flooring Direct, Planet Organic and Tile Giant.

The Center for Retail Research said most stores were closed as companies tried to reorganize and cut costs rather than face bankruptcy.

However, experts have warned that more bankruptcies are likely this year as consumers tighten their belts and borrowing costs for businesses soar.

According to official figures, about 14% of bankruptcies last year occurred in retail businesses.

Asda is also massively expanding its portfolio of smaller Express stores.

In February, Primark confirmed plans to open new branches and invest in and renovate more than a dozen of its existing stores.

IT is one of our best-loved brands, founded by the original Willy Wonka – John Cadbury in 1824, and worth a whopping £3 billion.

And to celebrate Cadbury’s 200th anniversary this week, the chocolate empire opened its doors to The Sun and invited Hayley Minn to be one of a few to tour the factory in Bournville, Birmingham.

We were also among the first to see Cadbury’s new archives, filled with hundreds of discontinued chocolates and some very nostalgic packaging from years gone by.

As Cadbury celebrates its bicentenary, we reveal some of the rather sweet secrets from inside the brand, including the rather surprising bestsellers…

Dear sellers

Dairy milk is Cadbury's best-known product and has been around for 119 years

Launched in June 1905, DAIRY Milk remains Cadbury’s bestseller.

And the recipe, which includes a glass and a half of milk in every half pound of chocolate, hasn’t changed since.

However, it has been revealed that Dairy Milk Oreo, which hit shelves in 2012, is “not far behind” when it comes to variants of the much-loved brand.

Meanwhile, Twirl is Cadbury’s most popular bar.

Super tasters

THERE is a team of ‘supertasters’ in Reading, Berks, helping Cadbury inventors come up with their wonderful new creations.

The group consists of seven to eight people “with very strong taste buds” who have been carefully selected for the position.

They are trained to taste chocolate properly and provide high-quality feedback.

Easter egg

THE hollow chocolate eggs we know and love are an absolute must at Easter – and Cadbury first launched them in 1875.

The original sweet treat came in a beautiful porcelain color shell and it was a simple, dark chocolate egg filled with sugar-coated chocolate drops.

CADBURY was responsible for some of the most memorable advertisements of all time – who could forget the gorilla drumming on Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight?

And promoting the brand has been a priority from day one.

Business archivist Sarah Foden says it was founder John Cadbury’s grocery store that pioneered plain windows so people could see inside.

And it was John who first came up with the idea of ​​putting pictures on chocolate boxes to attract customers, by painting his daughter on a tin. Everyone else soon followed.

Cadbury was the first confectionery brand to advertise on TV with a commercial for Dairy Milk.

Satisfying

Cadbury's was the first company to give employees the day off at the same time as the banks

As if it wasn’t enough that Cadbury created some of the best chocolate in the world, the company has also made an invention public holidays . . . kind of.

In 1911, it became the first company to give employees the day off at the same time as the banks.

The bosses insisted there was no difference between factory workers and bankers.

This set the tone for other companies to follow suit.

Key facts

  • 400 million cream eggs are produced each year, all sold between Boxing Day and April
  • Chocolate is pumped out of the factory 24 hours a day, 51 weeks a year
  • More than 250,000 chocolate buttons are produced per day

The rules

Properties around Cadbury's factory and offices are owned by the Bournville Village Trust

MOST of the houses around Cadbury’s factory and offices are owned by the Bournville Village Trust, founded in 1900 by John Cadbury’s son George, with an emphasis on providing good quality homes in a green environment.

Even to this day, in order to maintain the appearance of Bournville’s chocolate box, there are a number of rules that homeowners must sign before purchasing.

Residents must agree not to have caravans, trailers or boats in their driveway and not to erect hedges, walls or fences without permission.

But the biggest surprise is that every house must have a fruit tree in the garden.

SINCE 1855, Cadbury has held a Royal Warrant. It came after Queen Victoria gave John, and his brother and company partner Benjamin Cadbury, the role of its “manufacturers of cocoa and chocolate”.

Cadbury still holds this Royal Warrant from King Charles III.

No heirs

John Cadbury gave away all his money to charity, rather than passing it on to his family

ALTHOUGH Cadbury is now a £3 billion empire owned by Mondelez, neither John nor his family saw any of it because he was a Quaker who didn’t believe in generational wealth.

He gave it his all moneyinstead to charities. The company has remained true to John’s philanthropic approach and the Cadbury Foundation has donated £15 million to charities over the past ten years.

Surprising success

Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvelous Creations Jelly Popping Candy Bar turned out to be a surprise hit

LIMITED edition products are often launched by Cadbury, but one product released in 2012 was so popular it stayed on the shelves.

Dairy Milk Marvelous Creations initially included cookie nut crunch, banana caramel crunch and jelly popping candies – but it’s only the last ingredients left over from the original recipe.

Dave Shepherd, deputy director of research and development at Cadbury, tells us: “No one could have imagined that this would have been the most successful flavour.”

In a remarkable collaboration, Nestle has brought together two of their most successful brands to form the ultimate chocolate bar.

Now available from B&M, shoppers can get their hands on the KitKat Milky bar, a combination of two iconic flavours.

At first glance it may seem like it’s just a white chocolate Kit Kat, but Milky bar fans will know it’s so much more than that.

The stunning discovery was made by a member of the Facebook group Cheap Supermarket Deals & New Foods, who posted a photo of the chocolate bar to the delight of many users.

Weighing 160 grams, this bar is the perfect portion to enjoy with someone else, but also to consume all by yourself.

And after the big reveal, shoppers couldn’t believe what they saw.

“I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven,” gasped one.

“This sounds fun,” said another.

A third added: “Maybe I’ll get some tomorrow.”

It comes just days after B&M shoppers rushed to stores again to buy ‘the ultimate’ Cadbury Easter egg.

The popular discounter, described by chocoholics as a “serious contender”, is selling the Cadbury marble ultimate Easter egg and it’s cheaper than Tesco.

And shoppers have also managed to spot iconic American chocolates on store shelves.

Hershey’s Kisses Milklicious have been spotted in B&M stores for £1.25, but not all are in a rush to pick them up.

Elsewhere, new Aero and Milky Bar flavors have been spotted on Home Bargains shelves.

New chocolate is always a big hit with customers, but this latest release has confectionery fans in an uproar.

Home Bargains made the announcement on social media Tuesday, posting photos of the brand new products.

It seems that both Aero and Milkyway have collaborated to produce favorite ice cream flavors.

Uploading the image to Facebook, Home Bargains said: “Some of your most loved ice cream flavors have made their way into AERO & MILKYBAR! Try these delicious new flavor combinations! Who will you share with?”

No price has been announced for the bags of sweet treats, but they are set to be a big hit with shoppers nonetheless.

And that was reflected in the comments section of the post, with Facebook users getting excited about the exciting news.

“Share? Bag, everyone thinks,” said one.

“I want the Milkybar ones, I gotta find them,” said another.

One person who has tried them before even confirmed that “they really taste like they say.”

The news comes after nostalgic Home Bargains shoppers panicked after spotting ‘the best’ chocolate bar on the shelves.

The discount chain is known for selling everything from energy-saving gadgets to quirky items, but one sweet snack in particular has caught the attention of many in recent weeks.

And chocolate lovers obsessed with Terry’s chocolate orange are in for a treat after a much-loved favorite treat returned to shelves.

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Easter Edition with Crushed Mini Eggs returns with a special Easter twist and recently hit stores.
