Police are issuing a health warning after various prescription medications were stolen from a car in London Road, Portsmouth.

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

Once inside the offender stole a satellite navigation device, a pair of sunglasses and a number of prescription medicines, as detailed below:

  • 56 x Atenolol tablets
  • 56 x Levothyroxine sodium tablets
  • 56 x Lisinopril tablets
  • 120 x Liskonun tablets (mercury based)
