Limo thief flees from scene of the crime completely naked

naked-limo-thief

A car-jacker who stole a hummer limousine at gunpoint in California, US over the weekend attempted to make an unusual getaway after being pursued by police, making a run from the limo completely naked.

The theft of the hummer H2 limo was reported by the chauffeur of the car who told police the robber had taken the hummer from him at gunpoint at 8pm in Irvine, California this weekend. A police chase ensued, with the authorities pursuing the stolen limo in cars and also with the help of a police helicopter.

According to the driver of the hummer, the thief was fully clothed when he stole the vehicle, however he must have removed his clothes during the police chase as by the time he slowed down and bailed out of the hummer attempting to flee on foot, the robber wasn’t wearing a single item of clothing.

The moment the as-yet-unidentified thief rolled out of the limo and made away from the police on foot naked was captured by the police cameras from the helicopter hovering above. The fact the man was naked probably didn’t do him any favours as a German Shepherd police dog tackled the thief to the floor, bringing him down and holding onto him with its jaws until two police officers arrived and handcuffed the man.

The naked limo thief was taken into custody, although the police say it’s still not known why the robber chose to strip off his clothes while making his getaway in the hummer limousine.

Hummer crashes into medical centre’s waiting room

hummer-crash

A white hummer limo stunned staff and patients at a medical centre in Bartlesville Oklahoma this week when the driver lost control and crashed through the building, landing the huge vehicle right in the middle of the waiting room.

The driver of the white hummer was reportedly turning the vehicle in the car park outside when instead of hitting the brake, she hit the accelerator, smashing through the exterior wall and right into the waiting room, leaving a deluge of debris and broken furniture in her wake.

Patients who’d been sitting in the waiting room at the Generations Family Medical Clinic in Bartlesville had just been called through to see the doctor moments before the hummer ploughed through the building, meaning no one was left in the direct line of fire of the out-of-control vehicle. Luckily no one was hurt as a result of the accident, only the receptionist received a minor graze to her leg which did not require medical attention.

The driver of the white hummer has not been named, but was reported to be very distressed at having caused the incident. However she isn’t the first to accidentally crash through the medical centre as it’s understood this is the fourth instance in which a vehicle has smashed into the building in the last three years. Due to the high number of instances of this nature taking place, the medical centre is planning to build concrete pillars outside to protect the building from any more accident prone drivers.

US rapper, Gucci Mane, has been handed a 6 year jail sentence after he admitted pushing a female passenger out of his white hummer in January of this year.

The rapper had only recently been released from prison after serving sentences for other unrelated crimes. Three months after his release, and the music performer is back behind bars serving a 6 month jail term after he his most recent court appearance.

According to the press reports, a 36-year-old female was approached outside of a mall in Atlanta by a male, later identified as Gucci Mane, driving a white hummer vehicle. The victim was asked if she’d like to join the driver for breakfast, she agreed and got inside the hummer.

Once onboard the hummer, the driver offered the female passengers money to visit a hotel with him, when she refused, he leant across and opened the passenger side door, pushing the female from the hummer as the vehicle was still travelling along the road.

The 36-year-old female fell from the moving hummer causing her to sustain bruising and redness to the skin on her back and left side of her body.

The Atlanta rapper pleaded guilty to two counts of battery, two counts of reckless conduct and one count of disorderly conduct which lead the judge to sentence Gucci Mane to 6 months behind bars.

The hummer just got green

green-hummer

Introducing the world’s first green hummer. Although the words eco-friendly and hummer seem like a contradiction in terms, the perception of the hummer as a gas guzzling monster is about to be turned on its head with the launch of the latest miniature 4×4 which is run entirely on electric.

The latest model to be introduced by Hummer, the MEV Hummer HX is a fraction of the size and cost of its big brother the hummer limo. Costing £10,000 new, the MEV hummer is electric powered and boasts a range of 100 miles. As the new green car has no carbon footprint whatsoever, the vehicle is except from congestion charges.

Measuring just 3m in length and 1.5m in width, the MEV Hummer HX is minuscule in comparison with the traditional hummer. While the largest hummers in the UK have room onboard for up to 18 passengers, the new eco friendly hummer can only accommodate 1 driver and one passenger.  

Last year General Motors ceased manufacturing the iconic hummer limo as the giant automobile brand had started to cause controversy due to the high levels of carbon emissions emitted and also dismal fuel consumption rates, as low as 10 miles per gallon. The hummer had come to be associated with excess and extravagance and there was little tolerance for this type of vehicle.

Following its reinvention as a green automobile, hummer’s star could be set to rise again.

The authorities pursued the hummer limo for several miles before the occupants of the vehicle got out and tried to flee the scene on foot.

One 20-year-old man named as Michael Blevins and a 15-year-old male who has not been named for legal reasons were arrested at the scene. Blevins is accused of felony theft and theft of means of transportation. The 15-year-old has is facing the same aforementioned charges, plus a charge of criminal damage and trespass.

Seized hummer limo used in anti-gang campaign in Canada

police-hummer-canada

A hummer limousine seized from a drugs trafficking ring in Victoria, Canada, last year is now being used as part of an anti-gang campaign in the region.

In line with its new role as a vehicle to raise awareness of organised crime, the hummer H2 has been re-painted with anti-gang slogans such as “This vehicle was seized from a drugs trafficker” and “Gang life is a dead life” so as to get the message across to youngsters and potential criminals that a life of organised crime doesn’t pay.

The hummer limo was confiscated from a trio of drugs traffickers last year in the Victoria area of Canada along with a BMW vehicle, guns, and thousands of pounds in cash.

Usually all assets seized from criminals are sold and the money used to support crime prevention, however the authorities took a different stance with this case, and decided the hummer could be put to better use on the streets raising awareness of the problem of organised crime in the region.

For the next two years, the impressive hummer limousine will be used as part of “Operation Reclaim” which is an anti-gang educational program. The hummer will act as a moving billboard, spreading its message at schools, colleges and events across the Greater Victoria region of Canada.

Hummer limo joins police fleet in Indianapolis

The Metropolitan Police Department of Indianapolis have welcomed a hummer limousine to their fleet of police vehicles.

The hummer H2 limo was seized from a drug dealer, and now following a revamp, the vehicle is being used to raise awareness of the police force and to help during recruitment promotions.

Thanks to a kind donation, the hummer underwent a complete re-spray so it is now completely white with police branding throughout. The eye-catching vehicle was unveiled this week for the first time in Indianapolis.

The white hummer H2 was originally seized by police back in 2008. The hummer was part of forfeited property which was then awarded to the police force via the courts. As the 2003 model was still in excellent working order, the decision was made to keep hummer for promotional use by the IMPD.

It is hoped the presence of the giant police hummer limo will help draw attention to the IMPD. The force plans to take the hummer to college and career fairs and other media events to help raise the profile of the IMPD and advertise career opportunities within the police department.
