Police are searching for thieves who stole potentially dangerous medication.

The drugs were taken between 2pm and 5pm yesterday from Wulvesford in Witham. Three men were arrested but were released without charge.

A police spokesman said: "The medication is still outstanding and is considered to be highly dangerous if consumed."

The drugs taken were 15 capsules of blood pressure drug Propranololl and 14 capsules of anti-depressant Efexor XL which were in silver strips.

Police have urged anyone who comes across the drugs to hand them into the nearest police station as soon as soon as possible.

Anyone who can help can ring Braintree police on 01376 551312 or Essex Police on 01245 491491.
