Danger drugs stolen in raid

A THIEF stole five packets of powerful painkillers from a chemist shop in South Queensferry.

A police spokesman said: "

Anyone offered these tablets, or who has any information which could assist our enquiries, should contact police immediately."

&#149 Anyone with information can contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131-311 3131, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555 111.
