HARMFUL animal drugs were stolen from a vet's van which was parked in Arlingham, Stroud yesterday.

The drugs were stolen between 6.30pm and 10.30pm when unknown offenders gained entry to the van.

Farrier equipment and medical supplies including animal euthanasia solution were stolen and police are appealing for information.

Whilst Gloucestershire Constabulary does not condone the use of drugs, there is a need to inform users that these drugs are potentially life-threatening and should not be used.

Anyone with information about the theft from the vehicle or the drugs is asked to call police on 101 and quote incident 3 of February 17.
