Dear Resident, Here’s a quick round up from me and the rest of the Oldbury Neighbourhood team. What’s been happening Oldbury officers have attended a property which was cultivating cannabis, 49 plants found and removed for disposal, ongoing investigation. Officers have been on few hospitals watches this week. This is where someone they have arrested is deemed too unfit to be in custody and they have to go to hospital. Neighbourhood officers went out to an address to arrested a male who was wanted for criminal damage and a bladed article in a public place, unfortunately it was a negative result. We will continue our search. Oldbury officers conducted proactive patrols which led to a vehicle being seized, preventing a motorist continuing to drive outside of their licence entitlement. PCSO from the Oldbury neighbourhood was asked to attend a careers event which was being held at Moat Farm Primary School. Great question asked, future officers in the making. 
 Officers came across a stray dog while out on patrols. Thankfully the rightful owners turned up. A few words of advice were given to the owners.
