Police are trying to find a man they want to talk to after an on-duty police officer was struck by a van in Oxhey. Hertfordshire Constabulary says the assault happened on March 25 in Crossmead, off Colne Avenue, when two police officers responded to reports of a disturbance in the street. On attending they found a white van, believed to be a Volkswagen Caddy, and attempted to speak to the occupants. One of the officers, a sergeant, was beside the stationary van when it moved off at speed, striking him and causing him to fall to the ground. He suffered minor injuries as a result.

Happier times: some of the dogs found homes after being confiscated DOZENS of cats and dogs, rescued from an unlicensed animal business in West Drayton, have now been rehomed. Hillingdon Council officers and police removed the animals from a house in Colne Avenue following concerns about animal welfare and unlicensed dog breeding. Accompanied by a vet, they discovered a ground-floor room with tiered animal cages from floor to ceiling. The cages contained Russian Blue cats and kittens and were so small the animals had no space to run, jump, climb, stand on their hind legs or hide if they felt threatened.
