Pizza snatchers
On Saturday evening, OPD responded a report from two students stating that their pizza had been stolen. The victims stated that they had purchased a $6 pizza from Will's Pizza and were walking home with it, and when they arrived at the steps of their house, two other unknown males ran up to them and pushed them over. The assailants then stole the pizza, ran to a waiting vehicle and jumped in the back seat as the vehicle sped off. The victims were able to get a description of the vehicle and its license plate number. The car was shortly located near the Oxford Township Police Department, and the suspects complied fully with the officer. The victims declined to press felony charges for theft, since the pizza was, after all, only $6. Both thieves were cited for theft and released.

On Friday evening, an officer responded to a report of two subjects smoking marijuana inside of a parked red Jeep. As the officer approached the vehicle, the two males exited and began to walk away, before being detained by the officer. The officer noticed a strong odor of burnt marijuana and asked for ID. One of the subjects stated that his ID was in the vehicle, which the officer located along with a pipe. The subjects were cited with Drug Abuse and Drug Paraphernalia and released to one of the subjects' father.
