The wild-child niece of former Veep Joe Biden stole more than $100,000 in a credit card scam — and quietly cut a plea deal in Manhattan court that spares her any jail time, The Post has learned. Using a borrowed credit card, the blonde Caroline Biden set up an unauthorized customer account at Bigelow Pharmacy on Sixth Avenue in Greenwich Village, and racked up the six-figure bill over the course of a year, according to a criminal complaint that does not name the victim card owner. As part of a plea deal before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Kevin McGrath, Biden, 29, pleaded guilty to one charge of grand larceny and another of petit larceny and agreed to make restitution of $110,810.04. If she pays everything back and keeps her nose clean, she can return to court and enter a substitute plea to a lower, misdemeanor charge of petit larceny and be sentenced to two years probation. But she'll stay out of jail even if she fails to live up to the plea deal, instead getting sentenced on t...

The Justice Department announced Friday that Adam Purinton, of Olathe, Kansas, was indicted by a federal grand jury.

 (COLUMBIA, S.C.) — After hearing a woman's screams inside a large metal container, investigators sawed and pried open the bin, rescuing the woman who had been chained inside for about two months by a serial killer, according to new videos released by prosecutors.

On Friday, prosecutors released several videos, dozens of pictures and hundreds of pages of evidence against him. In the rescue video, once the container was opened after the 10-minute operation, officers walked in carefully with their hands on their guns and found a clothed Kala Brown, sitting on the floor with a chain around her neck stretching to the wall. "Do you know where your buddy is?" an officer said. "Charlie? He shot him," she said quietly. "Who did?" "Todd Kohl...

The deceased were run over by speeding kombis, illegal pirate taxis known as zvipipipi (derived from their hooting for customers) fleeing during several raids in the city. The shocking revelations came out during a community meeting held this week that was attended by several councillors at Mucheke Hall.

Emmanuel Rutema's attackers chopped off one arm and the fingers of the other hand and tried to pull out his tongue and teeth. Emmanuel Rutema was so excited to test out his new prosthetic arm he promptly knocked himself on the nose. "Be careful with your face!" the hospital prosthetist told the boy whose grin just grew wider. Rutema is one of four Tanzanian children with albinism visiting the United States to get prosthetic limbs to replace those hacked off in brutal superstition-driven attacks in their East African homeland. At Shriners Hospital for Children in Philadelphia on Tuesday three of them got the new limbs that will help them do everyday tasks most people take for granted.

          The Computer and Allied Product Dealers Association of Nigeria, a trade association of Computer Village market traders, is collaborating with Fonreg Software to develop a web portal, which enable them to track stolen phones. As a result, traders are expected to register on the web portal every buyer who purchases any item from them, especially mobile phones.
