The PSNI have issued a warning after a large amount of diazepam tablets were stolen from commercial premises in east Belfast.

Detective Sergeant Michael Hawthorne said: "People should only take medicines in consultation with their healthcare professionals who have access to patient health records, who are qualified to assess their medical needs and can take into account the risks and benefits associated with every medicine.
