This was one of two arrests made in the Wantage area this week.
Police took action against an individual for possession of an offensive weapon and driving while under the influence of drugs. Another notable arrest involved a prolific shoplifter.
According to a Facebook post by the local police on the TVP South Oxon and Vale of White Horse page, the Wantage Neighbourhood Team has been actively involved in various operations this week. They organized an operation with the Tactical Cycle team to engage with the public and prevent crime, stopped and searched five people leading to the confiscation of weapons and drugs, and carried out multiple patrols in Wantage, Grove, and surrounding rural areas.
Additionally, they seized an e-scooter and issued a Section 59 warning related to anti-social driving. The team also participated in a pub watch meeting with local licensees and engaged with multiple groups of youths enjoying their half term.
