Neighbourhood police officers in South Oxfordshire have invited the owner of two potted cannabis plants to come and pick them up forthwith.

Team members in Wallingford tweeted a picture of the plants, adding: "Missing your cannabis plants? Please attend Abingdon Police Station as we have found them for you."

Cannabis is a Class B drug and possession of it can lead to a prison sentence of up to five years, or 14 for supplying.

This is the second time police in Oxfordshire have taken to Twitter to entice a culprit after finding drugs.

In March TVP Bicester asked "Is this your heroin?" after a bag of the Class A substance was found in Market Square.
