Police hunt accidental millionaires 

Police in New Zealand are hunting a couple who disappeared after a bank accidentally paid ten million dollars into their account.
Huan Di Zhang and Hui Gao received $NZ10 million (£3.85m) after asking Westpac Bank for a $NZ10,000 overdraft, reports local media.
The couple ran a service station, in Rotorua, which shut down earlier this month after owner, Heights Service Limited, went into receivership.
The individuals associated with this account are believed to have left New Zealand and police are working through Interpol to locate those individuals," said Detective Senior Sergeant David Harvey.
"Westpac Bank has recovered some of the money which had been inappropriately withdrawn."
He did not specific how much had been recovered and refused to confirm any other details about the case.
"At this time I am not prepared to disclose the amount of money involved, name the individuals or business involved, or discuss which country the individuals may be in right now," he added.
Banking Ombudsman Liz Brown told Rotorua's Daily Post that technically it was a criminal offence for someone to spend money accidentally put into their bank account if they knew the money wasn't theirs.


Doctor saves boy with household drill

An Australian doctor saved the life of a 12-year-old boy - by using a household drill to bore into his brain after he had a bike accident.
The drama began when Nicholas Rossi fell off his bike in a cul-de-sac in Maryborough, Victoria, reports The Australian.
When he got home, Nicholas kept complaining of a headache and his mother, Karen, a trained nurse, took him to the district hospital where Dr Rob Carson, a local GP, was on duty.
The doctor kept him in for observation, and an hour later Nicholas began to drift in and out of consciousness and have spasms.
Dr Carson recognised it as a sign of internal bleeding in the skull that places acute pressure on the brain - the same condition that claimed the life of actress Natasha Richardson.
Nicholas's father Michael said: "Dr Carson came over to us and said, 'I am going to have to drill into Nicholas to relieve the pressure on the brain - we've got one shot at this and one shot only'."
The small country hospital was not equipped with neurological drills, so Dr Carson obtained a household De Walt drill, used for boring holes in wood, from a hospital maintenance room.
He telephoned leading Melbourne neurosurgeon David Wallace to help talk him through the procedure, which he had never tried before.
Dr Carson drilled until a blood clot fell out and continued to treat Nicholas until he could be airlifted an hour later to Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital.
"If you are in that situation you just do those things," he said. "It is not a personal achievement, it is just a part of the job and I had a very good team of people helping me."

Dog dialled 999

Police feared the worse when they received a 999 call which sounded as if a serious attack was underway.
Operatives heard whining noises and a man shouting: "Come out or else - I'm warning you", reports Sky News.
Then the line went dead. Fearing the worst, police rang back - but it turned out to be a shaggy dog story.
A very apologetic woman confirmed that all was well and that the culprit was her pet dog Bailey.
The 14-month-old golden retriever had grabbed the house phone in his mouth and ran off into the garden.
The emergency call operator had heard the woman's husband trying to get the dog to come out from his hiding place behind the garden shed.
Bailey had inadvertently dialled 999 while attempting to keep his grip on the phone.
The couple, from Withington, Herefordshire, apologised for the mix-up
