SUMMARY: Two suspects were arrested in Edmond, Oklahoma, linked to a nationwide theft ring specializing in stealing expensive electronics totaling nearly $7 million. Following a tip-off, police conducted a sting operation, capturing the suspects as they attempted to steal delivered iPhones. A brief chase ensued, resulting in the apprehension of one suspect immediately and the second later. Six additional arrests were made on the same day, with all suspects likely coming from out of town. Authorities caution residents to be vigilant with online deliveries, especially as the holiday season approaches, which tends to see an uptick in such thefts.

SUMMARY: A tornado struck Ada this morning, causing significant damage, including a partially ripped-off school roof and scattered debris. Emergency services are responding to gas leaks and continue to assess damage reports. Additionally, flooding had caused a backup on I-35 near 63rd Street, which has now been cleared. In Oklahoma City, severe storms are moving east, and although a tornado watch remains for one county, this is expected to end soon. Winds are forecasted to gust up to 60 mph, raising safety concerns, particularly for high-profile vehicles. Cooler temperatures are anticipated over the next few days.

SUMMARY: Heartland Medical Direction, representing a third of Oklahoma’s EMS agencies, has sent a letter to Governor Kevin Stitt and other state leaders, citing consistent mismanagement and a lack of accountability within the state’s emergency medical services. Heartland claims this has compromised public safety and EMS care. Despite over a year of complaints to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), no action has been taken. The OSDH responded, calling the move disappointing and stating they are engaging with willing partners to improve the state’s trauma system, focusing on collaboration with those open to meaningful discussions.
