Appeal following theft from hospital in Alexandria

Officers in Alexandria are appealing for information after a theft from hospital premises.

The incident was reported around 9.30am on Tuesday, 16 July at Vale of Leven Hospital, Main Street, Alexandria.

A number of items including cash, a prescription pad and medication were stolen from within the premises.

Detective Constable Nic Neeson of Clydebank CID, said: “Our enquiries into this incident are ongoing and I would urge anyone with information to come forward.

“There was medication stolen during this theft and I would urge anyone who is offered or sees medication for sale not to accept and report this to us. It can be extremely dangerous to use medication that has not been prescribed by a qualified professional. Similarly, I would ask local pharmacies to be vigilant to any prescriptions presented to them which may not seem quite right.

“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 0883 of 16 July, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
