Gino and Mark Stocco Arrested: Breaking News

In news just in, father and son fugitives Gino and Mark Stocco have been arrested.


And this, by the NSW Police Force:
The Stoccos have been arrested by NSW Police at Dunedoo, NSW. More to follow...



Less than 20 minutes ago (from the time this blog post was published, at 12.06pm), a Sydney Morning Herald article read:


Father and son fugitives wanted for attempted murder remained at large on Tuesday, as police conceded they had no new leads on the pair's whereabouts and could not say whether the men were still in NSW.

Gino Stocco, 57 and his son Mark Stocco, 36, became the focus of a large-scale manhunt - and added attempted murder to their mounting list of alleged offences - after they shot at NSW police during a high-speed pursuit near Wagga Wagga on October 16.

Since then, the pair, who have been described by police as "modern day bushrangers", have slipped authorities at every turn, despite travelling around 2000 kilometres across rural NSW and Victoria in the past 10 days.

UPDATED: 3.54PM: FROM NSW POLICE

Wednesday, 28 October 2015 01:47:08 PM
Police have arrested Gino and Mark Stocco at a property near Dunedoo (in the state’s central west) this morning (Wednesday 28 October 2015).
The men were arrested at a property on Tonniges Road at Elong Elong shortly before midday, following a covert operation involving officers from Western Region, New England Local Area Command, the Tactical Operations Unit, Aviation Support Branch, and State Crime Command’s Robbery and Serious Crime Squad.
No shots were fired and no one was injured during the arrest.
Strike Force Kalkadoon was formed by NSW Police Force’s Southern Region to investigate the pair’s whereabouts earlier this month.
The men will be taken to Dubbo Police Station to be charged.
Police would like to thank their interstate counterparts at Victorian Police, as well as the media and the public for their assistance during the search.

Halle Berry Divorce From Olivier Martinez

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are getting divorced.
The 49-year-old actress has filed for divorce from the French actor after two years of marriage, E! News confirms. The couple, who got married in July 2013, have one child together, 2-year-old Maceo
"It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce," Berry and Martinez tell E! News in a statement. "We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children's privacy as we go through this difficult period."
According to TMZ, which first reported the split, the Oscar winner cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split and the soon-to-be ex-spouses have a prenup. 
Berry and Martinez met in 2010 while filming Dark Tide and got engaged in 2012.
Berry is also mother to 7-year-old daughter Nahla from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubrey, with whom she has had custody issues. In 2012, Aubry successfully petitioned a judge to prevent Berry from relocating full-time to Martinez's native France with Nahla.
Sadly, this marks Berry's third divorce. She was previously married to Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005 as well as David Justice from 1992 to 1997.

Press blurb, about 'SPECTRE'.

A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal.  Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE. Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz. Sam Mendes returns to direct SPECTRE, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007 for the fourth time. SPECTRE is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.  The screenplay is by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth, with a story by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.
