Police are sending out a warning after a quantity of prescription medication intended for animal use was stolen from a veterinary clinic in Fair Oak.
One of the medications in particular - if inhaled, consumed orally or injected - could cause a severe reaction which could prove life threatening. It comes in a bottle branded 'Iso-Flo' and contains Isoflurane.
We are warning people that taking medications which are not prescribed for them and are not intended for human use, can have a significant and serious effect on their health and they should seek medical help immediately.
The drugs were taken from the clinic on Winchester Road, Fair Oak, between 7pm on Tuesday 2 March and 8am on Wednesday 3 March.
Entry was gained to the vets practice through a door at the side of the building, and cutting the rear of the door away, while the security lights were also damaged in the process.
Quantities of other medication – including methadone and diazepam – as well as a safe containing approximately £3,000 was also stolen during the burglary.
