Oliver couldn’t escape and was arrested by a policeman. Bronlow didn’t make him arrest and took him to his house. But for a Fagin’s order Bill Sykes and Nancy took back the boy.
Oliver took part of a group robbery, but they couldn’t steal anything and Oliver was injured by a gun shot: he returned to the house of the people they wanted to steal at and Maylie and her nephew Rose healed him. Fagin was searching for Oliver with Monks’ help who seems to hate Oliver paricularly.
