Mystery surrounds Flint City Hall break-in
FLINT, Mich. –Days before the federal government opened an investigation into the Flint water crisis, someone broke into a vacant City Hall office full of documents related to the embattled Michigan city’s water system.
Nearly three months later, officials have confirmed that a TV went missing, but little else is known, according to the Flint Journal.
Without suspects or a firm handle on what else may have been swiped, authorities told the paper last week that the crime may remain unsolved.
Surveillance footage showed someone leaving the scene with a TV that investigators believe was removed from the room in question, the paper reported. That particular room was not assigned to a city employee at the time. No other offices were targeted, the Journal reported.
Northeast expecting spring, getting winter
BOSTON – After a mild winter, a weekend storm is bearing down on the Northeast just as residents are looking forward to Sunday’s official start of spring.
Over 6 inches of accumulation is possible, mostly in New England and along coastal parts of the region. New York and Philadelphia should at least get a few inches, forecasters say.
The snow should start Sunday morning in mid-Atlantic cities like Washington, D.C, Philadelphia and New York, but higher temperatures should help mitigate snow accumulations, said Thomas Kines, a Pennsylvania-based meteorologist for AccuWeather.
“We’re most concerned with New England with this storm,” Kines said. “I don’t think there will be many problems in the D.C./Baltimore area. New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia is a little bit iffier.”
