The Paris prosecutor said Sunday that two of the suspects in the Louvre jewels heist had previously been convicted in a theft case together 10 years ago, as three alleged members of the team of four are now in custody. Laure Beccuau said the DNA of a 37-year-old man who was charged Saturday was found inside the basket lift that was used to reach the museum’s window. He was handed preliminary charges of theft by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy. Two of the suspects in the Louvre jewels heist had previously been convicted in a theft case together 10…

Another week, another top offensive weapon bit by the injury bug for Big Blue. This time around, rookie running back Cam Skattebo was the latest name to be added to the IR, as it’s been that type of season for the Giants. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley dissected the Giants’ defense, as New York fell to 2-6 following a lopsided 38-20 defeat to the Eagles. It was also a Week 8 to forget for…

A Queens principal who counts former Jay-Z manager Damon Dash and his wife as close pals turned her school into a slush fund for friends, whistleblowers charge. Aneesha Jacko of PS 35 Nathaniel Woodhull in Hollis has spent tens of thousands in taxpayer funds to buy books published by pals, hired others as consultants, and boldly touted their brands on a sprawling lobby mural that is practically a billboard, staffers said. “It absolutely blows my mind that she is still allowed to run our school,” a faculty member said of the principal, who took PS 35’s helm in October 2020.…

The US military has carried out another lethal strike on alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Saturday. Hegseth in a social media posting said the vessel was operated by a US-designated terrorist organization but did not name which group was targeted. He said three people were killed in the strike. It’s at least the 15th such strike carried out by the US military in the Caribbean or eastern Pacific since early September. “This vessel—like EVERY OTHER—was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route,…

CHICAGO — A supposedly upgraded bench hasn’t looked it. Newcomers Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele, whom the Knicks signed in the summer to create depth that was largely non-existent last season, have struggled to find a groove and earn Mike Brown’s trust. Yabusele logged just three minutes in Friday night’s 135-125 loss to the Bulls and was benched for the entire second half. It was a troubling sign after the Knicks used most of their cap space to ink Yabusele as their only experienced backup in the front court. He missed one game with a sprained knee, and is averaging…

TORONTO — They were inevitable. Indomitable. And now indisputably historic. These Dodgers were pestered by the Padres in the NL West. Pushed hardest by the Phillies in the NL playoffs. And spent 48 hours on the brink of elimination in Toronto. They went nearly as far as you could go Saturday night toward not defending their title. In the end, though, the Dodgers responded like champions and, thus, for the first time since the 1998-2000 three-peat Yankees, MLB had a team go back-to-back. They beat the Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings Saturday night because, on a record $400 million-plus…

SEATTLE — This was a character-building road trip for the Rangers. Capping their longest stretch away from Madison Square Garden this season with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Kraken on Saturday night, the Blueshirts headed home with their first three-game win streak in tow after going 3-1 on the western swing. Will Cuylle scored 2:41 into the extra period to put a bow on a strong stretch of play. Aside from a lopsided loss in Calgary, the Rangers blanked the Canucks in J.T. Miller’s return to Vancouver before pulling out an overtime victory in Edmonton. They then played a…

A Wisconsin mother and conservative activist has won a free speech case after being sued for defamation over social media posts criticizing her school district’s “woke” priorities. Scarlett Johnson, a leader in Moms for Liberty’s Wisconsin chapter, was sued by Mary MacCudden, a former English teacher and “Social Justice Coordinator” for the Mequon-Thiensville School District (MTSD), after Johnson made critical posts on social media in October 2022. Johnson posted a screenshot of MacCudden’s LinkedIn profile and wrote, “Why the hell am I paying for a ‘Social Justice Coordinator’ in my school district?” She added, “This is just what @mtschools needs;…

A hero older man blocked a knife-wielding attacker from stabbing a younger girl as victims fought back with a bottle of Jack Daniels during Saturday’s UK train attack, according to a report. The unidentified man suffered gashes to his head and neck while preventing the train attackers from slaughtering a youngster on the blood-soaked LREN train from Peterborough to London, Witness Olly Foster told the BBC. Foster stated that people pushing through the train car left “blood all over the chair[s]” of the train with the travelers only means of defense against the violent assailants being a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey,…
