A team of police officers brought sniffer dogs to two north Oxfordshire schools to warn pupils about the dangers of drugs.
They were at The Warriner School in Banbury and The Cooper School in Bicester on Tuesday, March 5.
Thames Valley Police schools officer, PC Rob Kelly visited with his colleague PC Biddle, Bilbo Baggins the drugs dog and his handler Simon.

The dog has been named after the main character in The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien's fantasy story for children.
TVP Cherwell posted on their Facebook page: "The officers gave a demonstration on how Bilbo works in detecting illegal substances whilst also sharing an important message with the children about the harm that drugs can cause, and advice on what to do if anybody should approach them offering them drugs / asking that they sell them on their behalf."
Neighbourhood police made a similar visit to The Cooper School in 2022.
