Police are issuing a health warning after various prescription medications were stolen from a car in Hampshire.

Between 11am and 6pm on Tuesday, November 10, both the passenger side windows of a Vauxhall Astra in London Road, Portsmouth, were smashed to allow entry.

Once inside the offender stole a satellite navigation device, a pair of sunglasses and a number of prescription medicines:
• 56 x Atenolol tablets
• 56 x Levothyroxine sodium tablets
• 56 x Lisinopril tablets
• 120 x Liskonun tablets (mercury based)

As with any medication, taking these when you have not been prescribed them could be dangerous. Police are warning anyone who either finds or is given these tablets to dispose of them, and not to take them.

Anyone with any information in relation to this incident should contact the Volume Crime Resolution Unit at Southsea police station on 101 or call Crimestoppers, the charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
