This headline, "Model Turned Detective Foils Heist", looks simple but can indeed be a bit tricky to understand due to the omission of words, which is quite common in headlines to keep them short and catchy. Now, I'll break it down for you.
1. "Model Turned Detective": Headline English often uses this "noun + verb-ed + noun" structure to mean "noun who has become noun". Here, "Model turned detective" means "A model who has become a detective." The verb 'turn' in its past participle form 'turned' is used here to denote a change of profession or role.
2. "Foils Heist": This is another compressed structure. "Foils" is a verb meaning to prevent the success of something, in this case, a "heist" or robbery. So, "Foils Heist" means "prevents the robbery."
Putting both parts together, "Model Turned Detective Foils Heist" means "A model, who has become a detective, prevents a robbery." So, the ultimate meaning of the headline is that a person who used to be a model and is now a detective, has successfully thwarted a robbery attempt.
