Xuekun Su, 44, was arraigned in Brooklyn on Thursday on four counts of grand larceny as a hate crime. The relatively unheard-of offense was levied against Su after she and her cohorts targeted victims due to their ethnicity, age and religious beliefs, according to prosecutors. Su is also facing grand larceny as a standalone charge.
Su is accused of approaching a 61-year-old Chinese woman and posing as a clairvoyant in order to convince the woman that she or her family members were in mortal danger due to a curse that only she could lift, the New York Daily News reported. She is also accused of stealing from another family.

Travellers were evacuated onto the tarmac.
Travellers were evacuated onto the tarmac.
The site was evacuated after a fire alarm went off in the terminal building. Passengers and airport staff were left on the tarmac as three fire engines responded to the alarm.
"Three fire engines and a range of specialist appliances have been called to reports of a chemical incident at London City Airport this afternoon," London Ambulance said in a statement.
Ambulance crews and the Hazardous Area Response Team attended to the incident.
The airport terminal remains closed with officials investigating the cause. Passengers have been advised to check with their airline for the latest information.
The suit has been brought by University of Virginia's Associate Dean of Students, Nicole Eramo, who says the magazine's November 19, 2014 cover story, "A Rape on Campus," damaged her career and her health.
The article by reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely, who is named as a co-defendant, described in alarming detail the sexual assault of a student called "Jackie" by seven men at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house in September 2012.
Ms. Eramo claims Ms. Erdely cast her as the "chief villain" who sought to protect the school by discouraging Jackie from reporting her alleged assault to police.
A subsequent police investigation found no evidence to back up Jackie's claims and scrutiny by other media organizations, in particular The Washington Post, uncovered serious inconsistencies and gaping holes in her narrative.

Granbury Police Officer Chase Miller was in his patrol car on the evening of October 12 when he heard a dispatcher call for paramedics to help a child who had stopped breathing at a Kentucky Fried Chicken where the boy's mother was working.
"We are at the KFC, and my son is not breathing," Braydon Geis' father tells the dispatcher in an audio recording from the incident that was later posted on YouTube by the city of Granbury.
"He's not breathing at all?" said the dispatcher.
"He's not responding," said Geis' father, a woman is heard weeping in the background, and calling out the boy's name, "Braydon, Braydon."

Chemical cloud in Atchison, Kansas forces evacuations.
Chemical cloud in Atchison, Kansas forces evacuations.
Headquartered in Atchison, MGP describes itself as a company where distilled alcohol products and food ingredients are produced. Authorities have not released details about what kind of chemical leaked.
Residents of Atchison who live north of the plant are being told to stay inside with their doors and windows shut, according to the Kansas City Star. Reporters on the scene reported a thick fog and chlorine-like smell in the area. Live footage from KMBC shows a fire truck hosing down a large silo at the plant.
According to the Atchison City Manager's Office, two chemicals were inadvertently mixed together which caused a reaction. No word yet on what two chemicals were mixed together. "We don't know what chemicals were mixed. All injuires are minor," said Trey Cocking, Atchison City Manager.
Comment: The statement all injuries are minor may be presumptuous.

Retired US Navy officer Harold Thomas Martin III, 51, has been dubbed 'the second Snowden' by the press. He worked for Booz Allen Hamilton, the same firm that employed the famous whistleblower who revealed global surveillance programs run by the US.
Martin was arrested late August, but his case was only made public earlier this month. He allegedly hoarded at least 50,000 gigabytes (or 50 terabytes) of classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA), reportedly including the US government's hacking tools. For reference, one gigabyte is enough to store some 10,000 pages of documents containing both images and text, so Martin allegedly stole enough data to fill 10,000 DVDs.
