Officers have issued a warning to members of the public after prescription drugs were reported as being lost in South Tyneside.
Northumbria Police issued the warning after they were made aware that a small quantity of Midazolam ampoules were believed to have been dropped somewhere between the areas of Brockley Whins and South Shields town centre, near to Saint Aidan’s Road.
Now, officers are warning people against taking the medication if found, urging the public to remember that taking medication that has not been properly prescribed can be dangerous.
