Sweden's crown jewels, stolen this summer in a Hollywood-style heist involving a speedboat, have been found on top of a trash can in a suburb of the capital, Stockholm, NBC News reported.

Swedish police say "every indication" suggests the 17th-century crowns and a royal orb have been located months after the the raid on Strängnäs Cathedral. "The police are working intensively to have it confirmed 100 percent," officers said in a statement.

A security guard found the jewels, though police didn't say if both the crowns and the orb were among the recovered items. They were stolen in July from alarmed displays and the thieves are believed to have escaped over a network of lakes.

A man is on trial for the heist.

A Fort Worth man died last week after an electronic cigarette he was using exploded, cutting a major artery in his neck, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner.

William Eric Brown, 24, died Jan. 29 at John Peter Smith Hospital due to "penetrating trauma from exploding vaporizer pen," the medical examiner said, noting shrapnel from the blast severed his left carotid artery.

The report did not identify the brand of electronic cigarette or offer other details.

Brown's grandmother Alice Brown said he told her he was going out to buy some vaping products.

"He said, 'I'll be right back granny,'" Alice Brown said.

Brown was sitting in his car in front of a vape supply store on the 4500 block of Golden Triangle when his pen exploded, Alice Brown said. An employee at the store said Brown never entered the store and declined to comment further.

The medical examiner's website listed the store as the location where the incident occurred.

Brown was rushed to the hospital and his grandmother said he was talking when he arrived. He died several days later after doctors had difficulty removing a three-inch piece of jagged metal from his head, she said.

"Now he's got a new address in heaven," Alice Brown said.

His grandmother said Brown was a certified electrician and took "good care" of her and her family.

Alice Brown said what happened to her grandson should serve as a lesson of how dangerous vaping pens can be.

Brown is believed to be only the second person to die in the U.S. from an exploding vape pen.

In May, a Florida man died from a "projectile wound to the head" after an electronic cigarette exploded, according to The New York Times.

New Britain Police are searching for a man who is accused of shooting and killing a woman on Monday night.

The Justice and Homeland Security departments said Tuesday that the Trump administration found no sign that foreign governments were able to affect the results of this November's midterm elections, NBC News reported.

A classified document with the findings was submitted to President Donald Trump on Monday, according to the departments' statement Tuesday.

Last fall, U.S. intelligence agencies detected persistent hacking attempts into state election systems, but not at the levels found in 2016.

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Tuesday that they found "no evidence to date that any identified activities of a foreign government or foreign agent had a material impact on the integrity or security of election infrastructure or political/campaign infrastructure used in the 2018 midterm elections."

Three teenagers are accused of stealing a Wings Over Newington delivery driver’s car on Super Bowl Sunday.

Police said they were called to the restaurant on Main Street around 8 p.m. The victim, who is a delivery driver for the business, told police he went inside to pick up orders and as he came back outside, he saw his vehicle leaving the parking lot.

Officers pulled the vehicle over on Main Street and found three teenage girls. The girls, who were not identified due to their ages, were arrested and charged with larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny. One suspect was also charged with possession of marijuana. They were turned over to their guardians and are due in court on February 8.

The extreme cold followed by warmer temperatures is paving the way the for pothole problems across the state.

You know it when you hit one.

“I drive a low car so if I don’t dodge it, it’s pretty bad,” said driver Chris Gavis from Coventry.

Driver Gina Malinowski says a particular pothole on Thornbush Avenue in Wethersfield worries her.

“I have to swerve the whole time I go down the street,” she said. “It should be fixed.”

NBC Connecticut contacted the director of Wethersfield Public Works. She said they just received an official complaint about that problem spot yesterday, and it will likely get patched up by the end of the week.

In Newington, Public Works crews were out Tuesday filling potholes in Spruce Avenue. Crews were also on the streets in Southington patching the roads.

Potholes form when water beneath the road surface freezes and then thaws. Repairs can be costly. Depending on the damage, it could run you as much as $1,000.

To protect your vehicle experts say look ahead, slow down, and beware of puddles because you never know what lurks beneath them.

“We’re starting to see more cars come in with tires and rims damaged,” said Randy Saly, manager of the AAA Car Care facility in Southington. “They can do anything from damaging a tire or damaging a suspension or something deeper in the vehicle.”

Just days after Hill's Pet Nutrition voluntarily recalled select canned dog food products due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D, more than a dozen dog owners have come forward on the company's Facebook page saying their dogs have either become sick or died after being fed the food.

The company issued a voluntary recall involving both Hill's Prescription Diet and Hill's Science Diet canned foods on Jan. 31, warning of a potential for elevated levels of vitamin D which could lead to health issues, including vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling and weight loss.

When vitamin D is consumed at very high levels it can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction.

Since the recall was announced, dozens of people have responded to Hill's original post on Facebook saying either their dogs have become sick or have died, many asking for compensation to recover thousands of dollars in veterinary care.

The company, meanwhile, is responding to those posts asking to speak with the customers through private messages. In other cases, the company told customers the vitamin D came from an unnamed supplier in Texas and was manufactured in Topeka, Kansas.

NBC News received the following statement from Hill's Pet Nutrition Tuesday evening:

"First and foremost, we’re heartbroken about this situation, which involves a limited quantity of our canned foods, and we are taking it very seriously. Hill’s people are working with pet parent to listen to their concerns. As pet parents ourselves, we understand the gravity of health issues with our pets. We have extended our call center hours and tripled the number of people on our phones, so we can take time with every pet parent. Additionally, our team of veterinary professionals is engaged with vet hospitals and clinics to respond to their questions.

It is important to keep in mind that vitamin D toxicity is actually very rare. In rare cases, continuous consumption of high levels of vitamin D can result in serious health issues, so we are assessing every pet parent inquiry thoroughly.

We have identified and isolated the issue, which is restricted to a specific vitamin mix, provided by one of our suppliers in the U.S., that was used in limited production of canned dog food as listed on our website. To prevent this from happening again, we now require the supplier of our vitamin mix to conduct additional quality testing on every batch of this ingredient delivered to Hill’s. In addition, we are also strengthening our own testing protocol for incoming ingredients as an additional safeguard.

We appreciate people's patience as we take the time needed to assess the concerns of each and every pet parent. We are committed to providing safe, high quality foods to all pets."

Meanwhile, in response to a customer on Twitter, Hill's Pet Nutrition said, "We have identified and isolated the supplier error and, are now requiring them to implement additional quality testing prior to release of ingredients. In addition to our existing safety processes, we are adding our own further testing of incoming ingredients."

For a list of the recalled foods, click here. If your dog has consumed any of the recalled products or is showing any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately.

The affected canned dog foods were distributed through retail pet stores and veterinary clinics nationwide. No dry foods, cat foods, or treats are affected.

Pet parents who purchased the product with the specific lot/date codes listed should discontinue feeding and dispose of those products immediately or return unopened product to your retailer for a refund.

No suspect description was immediately available. The case is under investigation.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday delivered his State of the Union address a week later than originally scheduled because of the historic 35-day government shutdown. 

Here are some of the top moments from his address:

THE CHEERING WOMEN IN WHITE
Democratic women, many of whom were wearing white in a nod to suffragettes, brought one of the night's most memorable moments when they cheered female economic numbers.

"No one has benefitted more from our thriving economy than women who have filled 58 percent of our newly created jobs last year," Trump said.

When he paused, the female legislators stood and cheered. A record 102 women are serving in Congress this year — many of whom defeated men to win their seat in November's midterm elections.

"You weren’t supposed to do that. Thank you very much," Trump ad-libbed. He urged the female lawmakers to remain standing as he honored their triumph more specifically.

"Exactly one century after Congress passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in Congress than ever before," Trump said. 

The women stood with raised hands, cheering. They started up a chant of "USA, USA," which Republicans joined in on.

The white that most women on Democratic side of the House chamber wore was the color favored by suffragettes, who won the right to vote from Congress 100 years ago. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York wore a white, caped blazer. A man wore white, too: Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota.

TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON WALL
Trump reiterated his demand that America needed a wall at the southern border. 

"Simply put, walks work and walls save lives," Trump said. "So let's work together, comprise and reach a deal that will truly make America safe."

It wasn't clear if Trump would commit to a wall amid negotiations over how to fund the government. Congress and the president have until Feb. 15 before funding runs out and the government shuts down again, and Democrats have been firm in opposition to the wall.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats did not join in as Republicans applauded Trump's remarks.

BIRTHDAY CHEER
Just about the whole joint session of Congress sang "Happy Birthday" to Judah Samet, a Holocaust survivor who escaped the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. He was among the guests sitting with first lady Melania Trump at the address.

Samet was late for services at the Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27. Samet, who survived the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, was just pulling into a handicapped spot when a man told him there was gunfire inside.

He witnessed an officer exchange fire with accused gunman Robert Bowers.

FROM PRISON TO STATE OF THE UNION
Alice Johnson, a grandmother who was pardoned by Trump after 22 years in prison, sat next to Jared Kushner in the chamber and wiped a tear as the president introduced her. 

Her sentence was considered harsh — she was given a mandatory life sentence without parole for having taken part in a drug-dealing conspiracy, though she maintained she never dealt drugs herself  — and her pardon came after Kim Kardashian West argued her case to the president.

MOON MAN
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin salutes as he's introduced by Trump. Trump said American astronauts will return to space in 2019.

READING MATERIAL
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was seen reading paperwork — a copy of the president's address — while Trump spoke. She drew reaction on social media for smirking while clapping with arms extended toward him, a moment some dubbed the #PelosiClap. 

President Donald Trump delivered the State of the Union address Tuesday night, calling for bipartisanship and renewing his push for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Save Nod Road! That’s the message from neighbors in Avon.

They are worried about potential development in their area.

“It’s one of the most beautiful pieces of property that we have left in Avon,” said David Richman of Avon.

That’s part of why Richman and others are part of a group fighting to block a potential housing project off of Nod Road in Avon.

“It’s not that it’s the wrong development. It’s the wrong place,” said Richman.

They are concerned about an idea to build nearly 100 homes on part of a golf course by the Farmington River.

Neighbors fear the impact of the development including to traffic.

Edie Shiffman lives nearby.

“Right across from where they want to build the 95 houses. And in my opinion the whole thing is a sham,” said Shiffman.

Many are also worried about flooding and the developer hoping to change what part of the property is considered wetlands.

On Tuesday representatives for the developer argued before a town commission their soil tests found the current town wetlands map should be changed.

If eventually allowed to build, the developer adds the concept would protect most of the property from future development, place homes hundreds of feet from Nod Road and keep an 18-hole golf course.

Still, neighbors remain skeptical.

“As I said to my wife before we left tonight, ‘Look out the window. If they build all these homes you’re going to see all lights now instead of dark’,” said David Richman.

On Tuesday, there were lots of pointed questions and skepticism from the commission and no decisions have been made yet.

Changing the wetlands classification is still just the first step in a long process to get any project off the ground.

Washington Boulevard in Stamford is closed after the St. John's Tower partially collapsed during demolition on Tuesday.

Police have closed Washington Boulevard's northbound and southbound lanes from Tresser Boulevard to Bell Street. The closures are expected to last through the day on Wednesday.

"Stamford's chief responsibility is to the safety of our residents. We're not satisfied with the condition of the building, so we have made the decision to close Washington Boulevard and have the demolition contractor address these concerns immediately," Stamford Mayor David Martin said in a release.

Police officers will be in the area to direct traffic.

Tresser Boulevard was also closed, but has since reopened.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel slammed Joe Ricketts in a blistering statement Tuesday after racist emails from the patriarch of the Cubs-owning family were leaked and published online.

Splinter News on Monday published a trove of what the outlet said are emails from Ricketts in which the billionaire TD Ameritrade founder evaluates conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama and shares racist jokes about Muslims, among other incendiary messages.

"Joe Ricketts once said that I do not share his values. Truer words were never spoken," Emanuel said in a statement.

"The ignorance and intolerance he has espoused are not welcome in Chicago. Those are not the values I learned from my parents, and those are not the values Amy and I have instilled in our children," he continued.

"Joe Ricketts should consider himself lucky he has never met my mother. She would teach him a lesson. I am proud not to share his bigoted opinions. Hate has no home in Chicago," Emanuel added. 

Included among the messages Splinter published Monday are several chain emails with widely-refuted falsehoods about Obama's citizenship, jokes disparaging people of various minority backgrounds and several conspiracy theories that Ricketts then appeared to forward on to others.

One of those messages prompted Pete Ricketts — one of Joe's four children and now governor of Nebraska — to suggest his father research a bit more thoroughly before spreading any chain emails.

"I recommend you go to www.snopes.com and search on these stories before you pass them on," Pete Ricketts reportedly wrote.

Tom Ricketts, one of Joe's other two sons and the chairman of the Cubs organization, denounced the emails Tuesday.

"We are aware of the racially insensitive emails in my father’s account that were published by an online media outlet," Tom Ricketts said an emailed statement released by a spokesman for the Cubs.

"Let me be clear: the language and views expressed in those emails have no place in our society," the response continued.

"My father is not involved with the operation of the Chicago Cubs in any way. I am trusted with representing this organization and our fans with a respect for people from all backgrounds. These emails do not reflect the culture we’ve worked so hard to build at the Chicago Cubs since 2009," Tom Ricketts' statement ended.

Joe Ricketts himself apologized for the emails in a blog post on his personal website Monday, writing, "I deeply regret and apologize for some of the exchanges I had in my emails. Sometimes I received emails that I should have condemned. Other times I’ve said things that don’t reflect my value system. I strongly believe that bigoted ideas are wrong."

A large water main break sent water gushing into streets and flooded several roads in Hartford on Wednesday morning. The Metropolitan District says repairs are expected to take several hours.

MDC said the break was in a 16-inch main on Collins Street that was installed in 1873.

The main was shut down at 7:10 a.m. and eight multi-family apartments on Collins Street, between Garden and Sumner, are affected. 

The repairs are expected to continue until between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Officers said there is a fire hydrant that is ruptured near Collins Street and Garden Street.

MDC crews are at the scene.

It’s not clear what caused the main to break. MDC said but fluctuations in temperature, that rapidly freeze and thaw the ground can contribute, along with the age and materials of the pipes.

The Bob’s store at Enfield Commons in Enfield will be closing.

It’s not clear when the store will close.

A Bridgeport man has been arrested, accused of driving under the influence and hitting a Fairfield police officer who was on his way to work last month. 

Police said 59-year-old James Crowther, of Bridgeport, was on medication and his blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit when he drove the wrong way on the Kings Highway Cutoff hit a police officer on Sunday, Jan. 20. 

Police said dispatchers started getting calls at 10:53 p.m. reporting that a Fairfield Police Officer had just been involved in a serious crash while he was heading to work. 

According to police, Crowther was going east in the westbound lane of Kings Highway Cutoff when he hit the front end of the officer’s off-duty vehicle. 

Crowther and the officer were transported to the hospital. The police officer, who has more than 15 years of service, is still out of work, according to police.

On Jan. 22, a judge signed a search warrant for Crowther’s blood and urine samples and medical records, which police said showed Crowther had a blood alcohol content .29, which is more than three times the legal limit. Records also showed the presence of benzodiazepines at the time of the collision, according to police. 

Crowther turned himself in on Wednesday and was charged with driving under the influence, failure to obtain a Connecticut driver license after 30 days of residing within the state and driving on the wrong side of the road. 

He is due in court on Feb. 19.  

A Norwalk man after police found several files of pornography at his home, according to police. 

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted the Norwalk Police Special Victims Unit in August that several media files containing child pornography had been uploaded from Norwalk to a website, police said. 

On Tuesday, members of the Special Victims Unit and Southwest Connecticut Technical Investigations Unit searched a property on South Main Street and found a device containing several files of child pornography within the home, according to police. 

Jorge Campos was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography. 

He is due in court on Feb. 14.
