There were also dog attacks reported to the police.
The Dangerous Dog Act 1991 makes it illegal for a dog to be 'out of control' or to bite or attack someone in a private or public place.
The legislation also makes it an offence if a person is worried or afraid that a dog may bite them.
In the act, it is also illegal to own certain breeds of dog.
There is a defence if the dog is protecting the house from intruders.
The raid happened at Alice Smith House, a council-owned property in Littlemore.
